| Abstract: |
Chapter 4 provides a detailed description of the structure and function of the digestive tract and its adaptations in terrestrial gastropods. Information is given on the nutritional requirements of snails in both natural populations and farming units. The chapter links diet type to the control of body and shell growth, health, and the quality of the produced product. It also discusses the design of feeding protocols and rations, relating them to farming costs and the quality of the snail meat produced.
