Quail character gentle, small size, quail is not only good-looking, but also can lay eggs to eat, but also can be ornamental. But quail due to small body, digestive tract is not long, digestive ability is not as good as other birds so well, with my observation of quail feeding to put a good feed off.

The following is my quail for you to organize the breeding method a few notes, I hope to help you!

Methods/Steps

1. Energy needs

Quail in the whole life activities, the daily need to emit from the body surface of the heat is about 62.76?66.94 kJ. Metabolism and feeding, exercise, etc. need to consume energy; growth and egg production need to consume energy. All of this energy comes from carbohydrates, fat and some protein in the feed. But the energy contained in the feed can not be fully utilized, part of the fecal discharge, part of the body surface with the loss. Therefore, energy needs to be constantly replenished.

2. Protein needs

Quail eggs containing protein 12.3%, meat containing protein 22.2%, protein is the basis of life activities, is the growth, reproduction and tissue renewal of the main raw materials, but also composed of the main components of the antibody. Egg-laying quail need about 5 grams of protein per day, or diets need to contain about 24% protein, growth quail feed should contain protein 20%?24%, meat quail feed should contain protein 24%?25%.

3. Inorganic salt needs

Inorganic salt plays a very important role in the animal body. The formation of bones, tissues and organs are indispensable to inorganic salt, and at the same time it ensures that life activities are carried out normally.

4. Vitamin needs

Vitamins are necessary to maintain the growth of the animal body, production, reproduction and health. In the quail body fat-soluble vitamins are generally not lacking, water-soluble vitamins are rarely stored in the body, must be supplied in the diet.

5. Water needs

The quail whole body water content of more than 70%, and is an important part of the egg, body fluids, cells. Quail digestion, absorption, excretion, regulation of body temperature, respiration, etc. are inseparable from water. If there is a lack of water, the metabolism can not be carried out normally, the loss of 10% of water will cause death, so drinking water must be guaranteed. In winter, you should drink warm water to prevent the quail intestines and stomach from being cold.

Precautions

Quail feed can be divided into two categories: plant-based and animal-based. Plant-based feeds include corn, wheat, broken rice, rice bran, wheat bran, peanut cake, soybean cake, clear vegetables and so on. Animal feed has fish meal, inorganic salt, etc..

1 day old?35 day old feed formula: soybean cake 25%, fish meal 15%, bran 4.5%, bone meal 1.5%; mature quail feed formula: corn 55.5%, soybean cake 22%, fish meal 14%, bone meal 2%, acacia meal 6.5%.
