Performance of broilers fed with snail (Pomacea caniculata) meal as substitute to fish meal or meat and bone meal

Abstract

Snail meal was used as a substitution to fish meat and bone meal in broiler rations. Final weightand feed conversion efficiency of the birds, profit and return on investment differed significantly among treatments. Feed consumption and production costs were comparable. Results show that snail meal can replace fish or meat and bone meal in broiler diets.
