Abstract

This study was conducted with 2 experiments to determine the appropriate feeding rate of the grow-out culture of snails Babylonia areolata. Each experiment was run with 3 replications with 4 feeding rates of commercial feed (1, 2, 4, and 6%) or fresh fish (3, 6, 9, and 12%) according to a completely randomized design. The body weight and height of snails at the beginning of the experiment was 3,3 ± 0,01 g và 2,2 ± 0,03 cm. The results showed that the growth of snails was affected by feeding rate (p<0.05). For the fresh fish experiment, the higher the feeding rate was, the higher the snail growth rate was. The higher weight of snails was at a feeding rate of 9% or 12% corresponding to 6.45 g/individual or 6.12 g/individual, the lowest was at a feeding rate of 3%, only 4.91 g/individual. On the contrary, with the higher feeding rates of commercial feed, the snail growth tended to decrease, the best growth rate of snails was at the feeding rate of 2%/day. The higher feeding rates were, the higher feed conversion ratio was (p<0.05). The survival rate of snails did not show significant differences by the feeding rate (p>0.05) of commercial feed or fresh fish. The survival rates of snails in all treatments of both experiments reached >72%. The concentrations of water environmental parameters related to nitrogen and phosphorus gradually increased with the feeding rate (p<0.05). A second polynomial regression equation analysis of growth parameters (%) and feeding rate (%) suggested that the optimal feeding rate for the best growth of snails was 1.53% for commercial feed and 10.8% for fresh fish.
