Our Snail Farming Program
At WOSA IHENYEN FARMS, **heliciculture (snail farming)** stands as our primary focus, driven by our passion for sustainable protein alternatives and natural health resources. Our program is tailored to produce premium, healthy snails such as **Achatina achatina** and **Archatina marginata**, reared under meticulously controlled, yet naturalistic conditions that closely mimic their native environment.
We are committed to excellence through:
- ✅ Controlled, naturalistic habitats that reduce stress and support healthy development.
- ✅ Organic and nutritious feed formulations, ensuring toxin-free and growth-optimized snails.
- ✅ Strict hygiene and health monitoring, with proactive disease prevention and zero tolerance for contamination.
- ✅ Sustainable and ethical harvesting methods that protect the environment and future stock.
Beyond Farming – Value Addition & Empowerment
Our snail program doesn’t stop at rearing. We go further by:
- 🌿 Extracting **snail mucin**, a highly sought-after ingredient in skincare and pharmaceutical industries, using safe and ethical methods that do not harm the snails.
- 🚚 Supplying **Point-of-Lay snails** to aspiring snail farmers across Nigeria, equipping them with quality stock and offering guidance to help them succeed.
- 📈 Empowering the agricultural sector by promoting heliciculture as a viable, low-risk agribusiness for income generation and food security.
