How to increase the egg production of quail

Quail is a common farmed bird. Its meat and eggs are delicious and nutritious. It is very popular in the market. There are many species of quail, which can be roughly divided into egg type and meat type. Today we are talking about egg type quail. The main economic value of egg-type quail is laying eggs. One egg-type quail can lay 300 eggs a year after it comes out of its shell. But some farmers raise quail to lay very few eggs, is there any way to improve its egg production, come to the pro-farm network to have a look.

1. Variety, physique and age

There is a certain relationship between the number of eggs laid and the variety of quails, but the important thing is feeding and management. When raising quails, they should be strong and disease-free, have a strong appetite, and lay eggs for quails born in the same year. The life span of quails is relatively short, usually only about two years. Female quails can lay eggs 35 days after they come out of the shell, and their egg production decreases after 10 months of age, so it is necessary to replace laying quails in time.

2. Breeding environment

Quail, like many animals, is extremely timid, and the slightest alarm in breeding will frighten it, which is not conducive to its growth and laying eggs, so it is necessary to create a relatively quiet environment and keep it away from the road as far as possible.

3. Temperature, humidity, light

Temperature, humidity and light are all related to the egg production of quail. The study shows that the egg production of quail decreases obviously when the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, and the most suitable temperature for quail egg laying is 18-25 degrees. In addition, feeding quails to lay more eggs, the humidity of the feeding environment should be about 60%, and 15 hours of light should be provided every day. Quails like red light, so it is best to supplement the light with red fluorescence.

4. Feed nutrition

If quails want to lay more eggs and have high quality eggs, it is necessary to provide high quality and nutritious feed. Tests show that female quails have a strong appetite after laying eggs. Feed should also pay attention to the content of calcium and phosphorus in the feed, feed as little as possible or not feed whole grain, in addition, crude protein should account for about 28% of the feed.

The above is how to improve the quail egg production brought by the pro-agricultural network. This is the end of the introduction on how to improve the quail egg production. I hope it can help you with more agricultural knowledge. Please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
