Uhunmwode is a Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Its heads quarter is in the town of Ehor.
It has an area of 2,033;Km2 and a population of 120,813 at the 2006 census (NIPOST, 2009).
With
her population the community can be said to account t for a significant
quantity of farm produce that come out of Uhunmwode Local Government
Area.
Snail farming in Uhunmwode community have not yet be taking
edge in the production processes but with my research work carried out
concerning snail production in Uhunmwode community can pick up the snail
business and use it in developing their community internally,
Snail
is hermaphrodite animal and snail is a good healthy proteinous food
compare to other meats. Snail is very easy to rear compare to other
animals, it does not bite, kick, sting or harm and they don’t mess up
the environment.
The reproductive organ in snail are in both the male
and female, although two snail have to mate in order to fertilize their
eggs, so this has show that the Uhunmwode community need not much
revenue to start up the business of snail farming in the community.
As
much, I the researcher hope to gather information that will be useful
for this research topic and the above zone would represent the whole Edo
State in Nigeria.
