Snail rearing involves the controlled management and breeding of snails in a suitable environment to ensure their growth and reproduction, which ultimately leads to the production of snails for consumption, pharmaceuticals, or other purposes. The study assessed current innovations in snail rearing and maintenance for commercial purposes. The paper revealed climate-controlled systems, Feeding Optimization, automation, and Monitoring, and integrated farming systems to be the current innovations in snail rearing. Creating a conducive habitat with appropriate temperature, humidity, and shelter ensures the well-being and growth of the snails. The study concluded that there is a growing interest in snail rearing as a viable commercial venture due to its low capital requirement, potential for high returns, and increasing demand for snail products in the market. The study indicates that current innovations in snail rearing and maintenance for commercial purposes have created a favorable environment for entrepreneurs to enter the industry. With technological advancements, sustainable practices, and market opportunities, snail farming presents a promising avenue for profitable agribusiness ventures. One of the recommendations made was that Snail farmers should engage with experts in the field of snail rearing, agricultural extension officers, and researchers who specialize in snail farming. Interviews with these experts can provide valuable insights into the latest innovations and best practices.
