Alimentation à base de produits du papayer et maturation ovocytaire chez Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1820) en Côte d'Ivoire

Abstract

Diets Based on Papaya and Oocyte Ripening by Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1820) in Ivory Coast. The gardens snail, Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1820) is a species recently introduced in Ivory Coast but of which the crop (the collection) and consequently, its consumption is growing within the population. Its breeding becomes imperative. In experimental breeding condition out of the ground diets based on papaya (R1: leave; R2: fruit; R3: leave + fruit) are (quantity of laid eggs) and tiny (presence in more or less larger number of ripe oocytes in the ovotestis) observations show that R3 regime is the most appropriate. It could be then recommended as diet to those who would like to breed this species.
