With a view to the nutritional value of the Limicolaria flamea snail and the contribution to the fight against protein deficiencies, our study consisted of determining the blood biochemical parameters, blood mineral levels and serum enzyme activity in rats fed the different diets (ESC, RTC and RPP), in particular the diet containing powder derived from the flesh of the Limicolaria flammea snail. After the rats had been fed the diets on a daily basis for 15 days, the protein intake of the diets was used to measure the effect of consuming powder derived from the flesh of the Limicolaria flammea snail on the biochemical and mineral indicators of the rats fed the different diets. The results show that the urea content of rats fed the RTC, ESC and RPP diets respectively was 0.26 ± 0.06 g/L, 0.3 ± 0.15 g/L and 0.29 ± 0.01 respectively. The creatinine values in the blood of rats on their respective diets (RTC, ESC and RPP) were 3.25 ± 0.5 g/L, 3.25 ± 0.5 g/L and 3.5 ± 0.57 g/L respectively. Thus, the serum enzyme values of the rats on their respective diets showed no significant difference at the 5 % threshold, particularly for serum enzymes such as Aspartane Amino Transferase (ASAT) and Alanine Amino Transferase (ALAT).
