In modern poultry farming wide popularity was gained by the direction in cultivation of quails. This bird does not demand special conditions of keeping, it can be parted in cages. Meat of quails tasty, has nutritious properties and on the dietary qualities does not concede to meat of chicken and a rabbit.
Instruction
1. Those who decided to grow up quails of the house should know that a certain area is necessary for this bird for normal existence: for layers – from 1150 to 180 sq. cm; for meat breeds – up to 260 quarter see. Depending on the available area it is possible to draw a conclusion what quantity of birds can be supported.
2. The following step is an acquisition of cages for birds. But if quails get divorced in the open territory, then cages are not necessary.
3. It is necessary to know that the females of quails who are grown up in house conditions lost an instinct of incubation of eggs. For this reason poultry breeders for young growth use incubators. If you breed young growth, then it is necessary to take care of acquisition of that. At the same time it is necessary to consider the capacity of laying of eggs and its specifications. Temperature of an incubation of eggs of quails is 37.7 wasps, relative humidity in an incubator – 50-60%. The incubation period - 17 days.
4. It is better to make the first plant of quails purchase of chickens. Buying incubatory eggs, you do not know for sure what will be an exit from an incubator – everything depends on fertilization of egg. It is the best of all to take young growth of two-week age. This age allows a bird to adapt to new housing before a laying of eggs.
5. The female of a quail begins a laying of eggs at monthly age, and the good yaytsenoskost appears at the age of 60 days. The stable laying of eggs remains within 10 months. After this period it is possible to carry out face layers.
6. In order that the chicken of quails well laid eggs, she should create suitable conditions. Air temperature indoors where there are cages with chickens, has to be supported from +16 to +20os. Lamps of day lighting are applied to uniform distribution of lighting (longitude of light day has to be from 13 to 17 hours). Duration of light day leads less than 11 hours to a yaytsekladka stop.
7. It is necessary to develop good ventilation, but the draft is inadmissible. And though at quails the immunity to infectious diseases (body temperature of a bird is 42 wasps) is developed, the draft indoors needs to be excluded.
8. The large role in a laying of eggs is played by a forage of a bird. It is necessary to make the balanced food allowance. The maintenance of a protein has to make not less than 21%. There is one important point: chickens need to provide rest, not to transfer from place to place as it can provoke recession of a yaytsekladka.
