Some aspects of the chemical and anatomical weight composition of land snails in Nigeria were analysed with a view to assessing the waste yield, carcass yield and their nutritional evaluation on wet weight basis. Proximate analysis of Archachatina, Archatina and Limicolaria species was carried out on the carcass. Moisture and protein contents were high in all samples, fat and ash contents were generally low while crude fibre was not detected. The concentrations of iron, copper, zinc, manganese, sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and cobalt were determined in the carcass. Values of iron, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium were consistently high while both chromium and cobalt were not detected. Anatomical fractionation showed the shell to vary between 17.12 - 31.99%, carcass varied between 36.97 - 45.14% and the intestine varied between 18.80 - 22.74%. Snails interact with man in a variety of ways, the beneficial interactions are enumerated.
对尼日利亚陆地蜗牛的化学和解剖重量组成的一些方面进行了分析，以评估其湿重基础上的废弃物产量、胴体产量及其营养评价。对玛瑙螺属、非洲大蜗牛属和尖口螺属物种的胴体进行了近似分析。所有样品中的水分和蛋白质含量较高，脂肪和灰分含量普遍较低，未检测到粗纤维。测定了胴体中铁、铜、锌、锰、钠、钙、镁、钾和钴的浓度。铁、钙、镁、钠和钾的值一直很高，未检测到铬和钴。解剖分级显示，外壳占比在17.12%至31.99%之间变化，胴体占比在36.97%至45.14%之间变化，肠道占比在18.80%至22.74%之间变化。蜗牛与人类有多种互动方式，列举了其中有益的互动。
