Abstract

A sixty-day experiment was carried out to evaluate the dietary effect of Bambara groundnut on the performance of Archachatina marginata. The experimental diets were formulated with 0%, 15%, 30% and 45% Bambara groundnuts varying inclusions levels. Performances of snails fed graded Bambara groundnut (BGN) levels were determined in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). There were four treatments, each replicated three times with fifteen snails per replicate. Measurements taken were Life Weight, Mean Weight Gain, Feed Intake, Feed Conversion Ratio, Feed Cost and Carcass Characteristics. The final weight gain (170.15g) and weight gain (15.01) of snails fed 45% BGN diets were significantly (P 0.05) in their feed intake (57.36g), (56.51g). The Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of snails fed 30 and 45% diets (6.29 and 6.23 respectively) were comparable and significantly (P
