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.
