Brooding techniques of quail

Quail is recognized as a high-yield and high-efficiency special fowl, which has the advantages of small size, early maturity, more eggs, high feed reward, and the nutritional value of eggs and meat is generally higher than that of eggs and meat. While the novice in breeding, brooding technology is extremely important, the following and Xiaobian together to understand quail brooding technology.

1. Temperature and humidity

The thermoregulation ability of newly hatched quails is poor, keeping it at 37-36 degrees in the first three days, 35-32 degrees in 4-10 days, and then lowering the temperature by 2-3 degrees per week until the temperature is removed, keeping the temperature between 22-25 degrees. In the early stage of brooding, quail excretion is small and indoor is relatively dry because of the high suitable temperature, so it is necessary to properly sprinkle water on the ground and control the relative humidity at about 60%. With the increase of quail excretion, the humidity will also change, ventilate and drain moisture in time every day, keeping the humidity at 55% and 60%.

2. Drink and eat

Quail seedlings should be given low concentration of potassium permanganate water 2 hours before eating, disinfect their intestines, drink warm boiled water for 3 days, and add appropriate amount of glucose to the water. Generally speaking, it is better to eat quail 24 hours after it comes out of its shell. On the first day of feeding, sprinkle the half-cooked millet mixed egg yolk on the plate or rough paper, never sprinkle it on the plastic film; because the quail seedling legs are thin and weak, it is easy to slip on the plastic film, and the slightest carelessness will cause lifelong disability. After that, the mixture with 28% protein content was fed and gradually changed into quail feed after 4 days of age.

3. Immune injection

Young quails are physically weak, so they should be vaccinated with various vaccines and preventive drugs in time, and they should be vaccinated according to the epidemic of local diseases, and they should not be vaccinated with two kinds of vaccines on the same day. An appropriate amount of preventive agents are added to the drinking water feed to prevent the occurrence of diseases and make them grow and develop safely.

4. Male and female grouping

Quails are sexually mature early, and some female quails open accounts at the age of 35 days. if male and female quails are raised in the same cage, it will not only cause feed waste, but also affect the egg laying of female quails, which is not conducive to breeding. Therefore, at the age of 20 days, male quails can be fattened and sold separately according to their calls and the redness of the coat under the neck, while the quails that are going to breed can be fattened according to the ratio of 1 ∶ 3 of males and females.
