Effect of dietary Centrosema pubescens leaf meal on growth and reproductive traits of Archachatina marginata snails
This study was conducted to determine the effect on growth and reproductive performance of supplementing dried Centrosema pubescens leaf meal to Archachatina marginata snails. A total of 80 growing, medium-sized A. marginata snails were used. Twenty snails were randomly assigned to one of the four e...
