The Curtain Method from Touchstone Snails
Using the curtain method as a snail breeding method in snail farming has multiple advantages; it helps with the better management of snails and sanitation.
The use of this method allows snail excretions to fall on the ground and so there’s no actual contact between the snail and its excretions.
This method also helps to adequately air the enclosure, which contributes in the prevention of disease spreading.
Snails do not have the need to always be in horizontal position; snails can easily carry out their activities (eating, sleeping, mating) in vertical position— in some cases, even upside down.
The method simplifies snail harvesting, the farmer doesn’t have to bend down to pick the snails. Snail feeding using this method has also certain merits, mostly related to sanitation and of course, with the easier, faster completion of tasks.
The only substantial drawback of the curtain method is the cost of building the snail farm structure. Considering that the snail breeder only needs 1/5 of a land because the curtain method multiplies by 5 the area — as the farm is structured vertically rather than horizontally, a snail breeding unit of 1000m2 that uses the Curtain Method, yields the same annual production as 5 snail breeding units using other methods. Therefore, the extra capital will be repaid much faster.
We feed our snails only with our formulated food. The natural snail food composition of Touchstone Snail is the result of many years of practice and experience and today this feed is one of the main assets of the company, as it guarantees the fast growth and the excellent unique quality of the snails we breed and trade.
A patent of Touchstone Snail the Electric fence. The electric fence, is useful to keep the baby and the mature snails safe inside the park. If a snail breeding does not use a Electric fence, then the snails will escape from the part, they will be all over the snail breeding unit, they will not fed and there snail be high mortality rate.
We provide all our know-how and support to our clients from the beginning until the end of the breeding cycle, and they must follow our instructions.
We undertake to train each breeder at our own snail breeding units in Cyprus, before they start their production season and we hand over to them a guide and a work schedule that they must follow during the breeding cycle.
