How much is the price of quail seedlings? Explain the breeding technology in detail!

Quail, also known as quail bird and running quail, is a common migratory bird in hills, wasteland, stream and other places. it is deeply loved by people because of its high nutritional value and low price. At present, many people are raising quails artificially, and if they want to raise quails well, they need to choose good seedlings. How much is the price of quail seedlings? What are the breeding techniques?

1. Introduction to quails:

1. Where are quails distributed?

Quail is widely distributed at home and abroad, including Denmark, Finland, Egypt, Austria, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bulgaria, India, Israel, Iraq, Italy and so on. Domestic distribution in Xizang, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Anhui, Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places. Generally, wild quails are bred in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, overwintered in the west of Xizang and southwest of Ludu, and then moved south to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through Sichuan, Shaanxi and Henan.

2. What does quail look like?

Quails are small and round, with brown and straw-yellow stripes and some irregular stripes. They often move in pairs and are common in dense weeds, jungle plains, hillsides and other places. Quails are terrestrial birds that like to hide in the grass. They eat beans, tender leaves and grains.

2. How much is the price of quail seedlings?

The market price of quail seedlings is not expensive, about 0.6-1.2 yuan per quail, but there will be some differences in price due to differences in origin, market and time of sale. For example, the price of a quail seedling is about 1 yuan at the Xiangyan Hatchery in Da'an Township, Hengyang County, and about 0.8 yuan at the Changyuan Poultry Incubator in Hengyang City. The price is about 0.8 yuan at the Babu Poultry Hatch in Hezhou City, and about 0.5 yuan at the Linyou Quail Farm in Nanchang County, so the specific price still needs to be checked in the local market.

What are the quail breeding techniques?

1. Choose a place to build a house: where is suitable for breeding?

Quails are suitable for growing in places with sufficient water, quiet living environment and good air permeability, so when choosing a site, try to breed it in a place away from the factory or urban area but with convenient transportation. After selecting the site, build a two-meter-high quail house and install lighting equipment, then lay the crossbeam at the top, seal the surroundings with a net, and put some nets at the bottom to facilitate the mother to roll out after laying eggs. If it is a feeding cage, it is best to put a mesh at the bottom to facilitate the leakage of quail droppings, and the bottom of the net should be low in front and high in the back, so as to facilitate the mother to roll out after laying eggs.

2. Selection and mating: what kind of quail should be chosen?

When selecting seeds, try to choose seedlings with shiny feathers, plump muscles, long head and small neck, and a weight of about 130g to 150g. After selecting the species, the female quail of 3 ~ 12 months old and the male quail of 4 ~ 6 months are selected for breeding, which generally causes the most sexual desire or in the evening, so it is best to mate after the first feeding in the morning. If it is artificially hatched, it can be mated and reproduced at any time.

3. Incubation management: how to manage?

After mating, quails will naturally enter the incubation period. At this time, the light should be increased for 4 hours at night, the room temperature should be controlled at 20-23 degrees, and the humidity should be controlled at about 65%, so as to improve the laying rate. About a week after laying, select eggs with smooth shell surface and clear spots as breeding eggs, and store them at a temperature of 15 degrees and humidity of about 80%. Rotate the eggs every two or three hours to help them hatch quickly. Generally, eggs begin to hatch in 17 days, and can be fed 12 hours after they come out of the shell.

4. Feeding management: how to raise it?

(1) Feed requirements: quails have miscellaneous food habits, generally feed some bean cakes, fish meal, corn flour, cabbage, carrots, alfalfa, rice bran, and add some multivitamins, antibiotics and trace elements to make them grow healthily. It is generally fed four times a day and supplied regularly and rationed.

(2) feeding density: generally, 100 young quails per square meter at the age of 1 week, 85 per square meter at the age of 2 weeks, 70 per square meter at the age of 3 weeks, and 50 per square meter at the age of 4 weeks, in a word, do not be too dense, so as not to cause diseases.

(3) grouping management: male and female quails are reared separately as far as possible to improve the fertilization rate of breeding eggs. Of course, it can also be mixed culture, but in mixed culture, the ratio of male to female is the best at 1:3, and the quails left by mating are treated as meat quails.

(4) Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests: during the growth of quails, diseases such as white dysentery, coccidiosis, ulcerative enteritis, diphtheria, Marek's disease, colibacillosis, limefoot disease and so on will occur.

The above is a detailed introduction of quail seedling market price and breeding technology. I hope it will be helpful to you.
