Explanation:
Snail farming has emerged as an excellent business opportunity for Latin American countries, such as
Colombia. Modern heliciculture must take into account physiology, reproduction, genetics, nutrition and production
of the snail to be able to be competitive in the international markets that are the most important and striking
In this sector. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to collect the content of research conducted in the
national and international level regarding the reproduction of the snail Helix aspersa, because the indexes
reproductive are directly and closely related to the productive indices of all helicicultural exploitation; being
It is a great help for companies looking for greater effectiveness and efficiency, to be able to compete in the markets
international, which are increasingly demanding. The reproduction of the snail Helix aspersa is influenced
by morphotype or race, snail size, feeding, time of year, density (number of animals per
box), photoperiod, among others; being these key points, to achieve better and homogeneous productions in a
exploitation.
