Reasons for low egg production of quail

There is instability during the peak laying period of quails, sometimes higher and sometimes lower, and low laying will definitely affect the income of farmers, so what is the reason for the low laying of quail eggs? Let's get to know it.

1. The feeding density is too high.

The density of breeding also has a great impact on quail egg laying. In order to increase egg production, some farmers often raise a lot of quails in a cage, resulting in crowding. Excessive feeding density will not only affect the diet and rest of quails, but also cause poor air circulation around them. Growing in such an environment for a long time, quails will become grumpy, fight and peck eggs, which will seriously affect egg production. It is necessary to control the breeding density. Let them follow in a loose environment, so that they will produce a lot of eggs.

2. Temperature influence

The temperature of quail laying should also be controlled well, and the best laying temperature is between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the egg production. If you want the egg production peak to be stable, try to control the temperature in the appropriate range during the laying period. It can grow better in this temperature, and the number of eggs can also be greatly increased.

3. The influence of external environment

Quails are relatively timid and easy to be frightened and get sick. In order to make them better at laying eggs, it is best to keep them in a quiet environment. If there are no dogs or more ferocious animals in the surrounding environment, they can also be kept indoors. Sound insulation treatment can be done to let them grow in a quiet environment. Their egg laying peak will gradually stabilize, so that it will be much easier for farmers to manage.

4. the influence of light intensity.

The intensity and time of light have a great influence on their egg laying. Quails are light-loving animals. They grow in places with plenty of light. The longer the light, the better the quail eggs. So in order to raise quails in a brighter light environment, it is necessary to ensure that there are about 14 hours of light every day in the process of laying eggs.

The above is the introduction of the reasons for the low egg production of quails. I hope I can help you. If you want to know more about it, please follow us.
