The principle of feeding is to drink water before eating. The mixed feed includes corn flour, rice bran, bean cake powder, bran, fish meal, bone meal, leaf powder, salt, vegetables, insects and so on. Feed should be more diversified and nutritious. Feed with good quality, strong palatability, complete nutrition, low price and sufficient supply can be selected to form compound feed.
Feeding mode:
1. After the chicks hatch, put them in an incubator for feeding after their hair is dry. On day 1-3, the incubator temperature was 35℃, and then it decreased day by day, to 32℃ on day 7, to 30℃ on day 14, to 25℃ on day 2 1 and to 25℃ on day 28.
2. It can be divided into single feeding type and group feeding type. Single feeding means that a male or female bird is kept in a cage. Cages can be made of barbed wire and bamboo. The mesh size at the bottom of the cage is suitable for quail feces to pass through without stepping on their toes, and the spacing is about 1 cm. The feeding surface of quail cages has a wide mesh, which enables them to eat from the head and neck. There is a trough and sink hanging outside the cage. Group feeding method is to raise small groups in large cages, and it is appropriate to raise about 10.
3. Quails are fed semi-wet feed five times a day, and each quail is fed about 30 grams of concentrate every day. Quails like warmth and are afraid of cold. Do a good job in heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer; Indoor heating should be provided in winter, and the room temperature should be kept above 10℃.
