1. to avoid quail prematurity:
quail generally kept 40 to 50 days after the start of production, some will be affected by nutrition and light, time will be different, in order to improve the quail egg production rate, rearing quail 25 to 30 days, it is necessary to take the way to limit feeding to prevent premature birth. An early start of production does not increase egg production, but rather affects normal development and egg quality.
The onset of quail production is kept at 40-50 days by restrictive feeding. After the onset of production, the egg production rate can be counted every month to keep track of the changes in quail egg production, and if abnormal egg production is found, the potential causes should be analyzed and improved to return to the normal level. The quail feed formula and feeding amount during the egg laying period can also be adjusted according to the changes in egg production rate, and the lowest cost of feed expenditure can be used to achieve the requirements of high yield and reduce the cost of farming.
2. scientific feeding management:
quail in the pre-rearing, quail will grow weaker, pick out, separate management, strengthen nutritional supplementation, growth rate to catch up as soon as possible, about a month after rearing, it is necessary to transfer herd. If we keep the quail in a consistent way without transferring, it will cause infectious diseases and affect the egg production rate. After the restricted feeding period, it is necessary to change to the normal feed for egg-laying quail, with appropriate vitamin supplementation to reduce stress and increase the egg production rate. Feeding can be done at a fixed time, 3-4 times a day, or put the feed in a trough and let quail eat freely.
The recommended formula: corn 48%, soybean meal 20%, wheat bran 6%, fishmeal 10%, bone meal 4%, plus the right amount of amino acids and vitamins. It is also important to control the amount of feeding, so that there is no water break, which is even more serious than the feed break. At the peak of egg laying, quail lay more eggs in the afternoon, and eggs should be picked up 1 to 2 times a day, it is strictly forbidden to use sulfonamides, the use of these drugs will lead to a 15-25% decrease in egg production.
3. improve the utilization rate of feed:
different forms of feed on quail egg production will also have an impact, farmers through experiments found that, compared with ordinary feed paste and mixes, egg production rate is higher, if the feed is paste feed, we should use a small number of times, 3 to 4 times a day, to prevent the paste feed is not eaten after the deterioration. During quail egg laying, the energy protein in the feed is very important, and increasing the ratio will help to increase the conversion rate of the feed.
When the crude protein content in the feed is the same, the egg production rate of quail decreases when the metabolic power increases, but when the metabolic power is the same, the egg production rate increases when the protein content increases. It is noteworthy that the higher the crude protein content in the feed, the better. If quail are fed with feed with high crude protein limit, the egg production rate will be increased, but the egg production period of quail will be shortened and the utilization life will be reduced. Therefore, during the egg laying period, the crude protein in the feed is kept at 20% to 24%, but also add the right amount of vitamins to improve resistance.
4. take wing surgery, to prevent quail egg laying early anal prolapse:
After the quail after wing breaking, in the egg laying period can improve egg production, wing breaking method is to use a hot iron, the chick quail between the joints of the wings branding broken. At the beginning of egg laying, if the egg laid is large and stimulated by the outside world, anal prolapse can occur and casualties can occur from other quail pecking, if anal prolapse is found in quail, it should be dealt with in time so as not to induce pecking in other quail. At the beginning of egg laying, quail are sensitive to the outside world and can react strongly, try to keep quiet when feeding quail.
Some precautions during quail egg layingSome farmers buy imported varieties at high prices and use the second egg-laying period of quail through the measure of feather exchange, so that in the second year, there is no need to introduce quail. However, from the biological characteristics of quail, the egg production rate in the second year is 30% lower than in the first year, so many farms adopt the model of “clearing every year”and keep the quail in one year. The life expectancy of female quail is shorter than male quail, which is also related to egg production. The mortality rate of female quail is 5% from 16 to 60 weeks of age and 8% after 70 weeks of age. Generally, after a year of farming, after a 40 per cent drop in egg production, it is uneconomical to keep the ewes, and they are sold for meat to make room for the next batch of quail.
