ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This microbiological study investigates the gut microbiota of wild and cultivated edible snails (Helix spp.) by analyzing the intestinal and crop contents. The study aims to understand the microbial diversity and composition in these two gut compartments, compare differences between wild and cultivated populations, and assess the potential implications for snail farming practices and food safety. Samples were collected from diverse geographic locations to ensure a representative sample set. The microbial load in the intestinal tract and crop contents was determined using the serial dilution an

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]1.1 Background of the StudyThe terrestrial snails like Achatina fulica, Achatina achatina and Archachatina marginata are large?sized terrestrial mollusks that can grow up to 20 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter. In these snails, the brownish shell having dark stripes generally covers half of the body (Ohlweiler, et. al., 2010). Among these, the shell of A. fulica is smaller and can grow up to 3–4 inches, while A. achatina has a larger shell size of 10–11 inches (Uyoh et. al., 2013).The calcareous shell of the snail when burnt, ground into powder and mixed with oil and has been applied ...
