Quail farming technology is mainly chick quail management, feed management and daily management.
Quail nowadays, China's agriculture is very extensive, agriculture is relatively simple. However, farming quail has different feeding management methods at each stage of its growth, especially at the beginning of the war. The early stage is relatively weak, and inappropriate management may lead to death, reducing and affecting the economic benefits.
A, chick quail management
Quail size is small, stand unsteady, after being drenched quail is more difficult to control the center of gravity and lead to fall, sometimes slightly larger quail will be trampled, so we have to feed drinking water to be batch to batch, if possible, you can formulate the right amount of water cups so as not to spilled drenched in quail into the brood chamber before letting him rest for 1-2 hours, and then feed drinking water, and the condition can be developed to avoid spilling wetting. Let them rest for 1-2 hours before putting them into the brooder, then feed them drinking water, and pay attention to the control of water temperature, and heat and sterilize the drinking water when feeding, and then control every quail can drink the water.
Two, feed management
Fledgling quail can be in the shell within an hour, the first drink about 4 hours after the appropriate diet. Young quail can eat at the proper time 25-27 hours after breaking the shell. Use hard-boiled eggs or corn meal as food for the first time. The initial diet of the young is very small, so controlled dosages are necessary to prevent wasted feed.
Feed the feed, allowing the youngsters to feed themselves and ensuring that the feed is available to each quail chick. Residual feed can be cleaned up when appropriate to prevent the chicks from ingesting feed after it has spoiled, which can lead to intestinal disease in quail and affect reproductive efficiency.
After the quail enter the breeding period, we have to transfer the quail into the breeding cage for rearing. Before transferring the group, make sure that the breeding cage is as close as possible to the previous living environment to prevent the quail from not being able to adapt to the environment.
Three, daily management
1, cage should be swept diligently, timely removal of feces (remove feces once a day, at least once every two days), often scrubbing troughs, to prevent contamination, moisture, maintain and dry sanitation.
2, 0-4 days old quail will often show the wild nature of fleeing, in the feeding water, feed must be careful to prevent the feed is picking food splash loss, to prevent drinking water wet feathers.
3, quail in 40 days after feeding can be on the cage, to adapt to the cage environment for egg production, winter to build a stove, keep the temperature above 16 ℃, summer to maintain good ventilation, summer cooling.
4, egg-laying period should have sufficient light, after dark can be supplemented with light for about 4 hours, female quail egg-laying is usually 2-4 p.m., 6 p.m. end, to pick up the eggs at any time, to prevent pecking, trampling.
5, to be diligent in adjusting and checking the indoor humidity, temperature, light, ventilation, to prevent all kinds of pecking, stress, veterinary pests, rodents and gas poisoning.
6. Regularly weighing and checking the growth of feathers, and making good records and statistical reports.
