Abstract: The study "The Effect of Different Feedstuff on the Growth, Production and Palatability of Golden Snails (Ampullaria cuprina)" was conducted to identify which feedstuff is best suited for snails and more economical to use. It was conducted at Barangay Kayquit, Indang, Cavite from September 22, 1936 to January 21, 1937. One hundred fifty (150) young snails were acquired one day before the actual start of the experiment. The snails were divided into fifteen (15) groups; each group composed of ten snails and were replicated three times. The different treatments were: Treatment I designated as control, fed with kangkong leaves; Treatment II, fed with camote tops; Treatment III, fed with gabi leaves; Treatment IV, fed with ipil-ipil leaves; and Treatment V, fed with growing mash. All the snails were given the same care and management during the whole period of the study. The experiment revealed significant differences between treatments. Snails fed with growing mash (T5) ranked first in the palatability/acceptability test with a mean score of 4.483 followed by ipil-ipil leaves (Ty) at 1.66. Gabi leaves (Tz) ranked third followed by kangkong leaves (Ty) with a mean scores of -1.0 and -1.66, vas respectively. The least acceptable among the treatments were the snails fed with camote tops (25) which produced a flavor that is unacceptable to every judge. This be the result of early decomposition of camote tons in The average final weight was highest in P, Cranskong leaves) with an average of 6.71 grams, followed by tT sabi leaves) and Ts (growing mash) with an average of 6.69 each. Treatment 4 (ipil-ipil leaves) obtained an average of 6.48 grams and Ty (camote tops) was lowest with an average of 6.01 grams. There was no Significant differences between the treatments. The total number of stock at the end of the study was highest in Ts (gabi leaves) with a mean of 53 snails, followed by Ty (ipil-ipil leaves) with a mean of 52.3 snails. Next was Ts (growing mash) with 31.7 snails, followed by Ty (kangkong leaves) and tT, (camote tops) with an average of 29.3 and 27.7 snails, respectively. There was highly significant differences between the treatments. This study revealed that grower mash was the best suited feed for snails. For higher outcome, the combination of ipil-ipil leaves and gabi leaves as feeds for snails, is recommended.

The study "The Effect of Different Feedstuff on the Growth, Production and Palatability of Golden Snails (Ampullaria cuprina)" was conducted to identify which
feedstuff is best suited for snails and more economical to use. It was conducted at Barangay Kayquit, Indang, Cavite from September 22, 1936 to January 21, 1937.

One hundred fifty (150) young snails were acquired one day before the actual start of the experiment. The snails were divided into fifteen (15) groups; each group composed of ten snails and were replicated three times.

The different treatments were: Treatment I designated as control, fed with kangkong leaves; Treatment II, fed with camote tops; Treatment III, fed with gabi leaves; Treatment IV, fed with ipil-ipil leaves; and Treatment V, fed with growing mash.

All the snails were given the same care and management during the whole period of the study.

The experiment revealed significant differences between treatments. Snails fed with growing mash (T5) ranked first in the palatability/acceptability test with a mean score of 4.483 followed by ipil-ipil leaves (Ty) at 1.66. Gabi leaves (Tz) ranked third followed by kangkong leaves (Ty) with a mean scores of -1.0 and -1.66, vas respectively.

The total number of stock at the end of the study was highest in Ts (gabi leaves) with a mean of 53 snails, followed by Ty (ipil-ipil leaves) with a mean of 52.3 snails.

This study revealed that grower mash was the best suited feed for snails. For higher outcome, the combination of ipil-ipil leaves and gabi leaves as feeds for snails, is recommended.
