IS IT A PROFITABLE BUSSINESS BREEDING THE QUAILS?

THE quail's breeding is one of the special bussiness, u can emerge and develop with a low effort and disscount, a bussiness with a large profit superior reagarding the other bussiness.The quail's breeding could be done as a base activity, which regards a large number of fertile quails, breeded in special farms(5000-10000 paultries) but also breeded as a paralel occupation for its own use, in familiar farms (100-500 paultries). Some advantages from breeding the quails should be:

1) THE SPACE required for fitting out some farm isn't at all any problem. Regarding the fact that over 1 square meter u could breed more than 120 quails,it means that a homely farm can be arranged into an already existent building - a stable on a hall, balcony...regarding the saving space you could use up to 7 cages all over eachother.The only conditions that implies assurance are:
- the entretament of a constant temperature (10-20c),the light the lack of noize, also of the air current, and to all the stressed facts
2) THE TIME dedicated to the tking care of the quails,is minimal. Daily it is administrated the food and the water, it is collected the egs, 2-3 a day,u clean the dirthy plates. An important attention it has to be paid, to the eggs incubations(the rolling egs inside the incubater, 2-3 times in 24 hours, the moiston eggs starting with the 14th day of incubation) and taking care of the chikens (the assurance of an optime temperature). A homely farm,(500 paultries) requires a larger quantity of work, but their carrying could be done after work.

3) THE COMERCIAL of the products obtained from the breeding of the quails, is lighted by th fact that these products are verry special. In this way a quail's egg, is a real wonder. Though it might be hard to believe, regarding the small dimenssions of the quail's egg, this contain 5 times more iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, 6 times more B6 vitamine, and 15 times more B2 vitamine, than the hen (more details u find in RECIPS page). In this way, regarding it’s own substance, the quail's egg is largely used in natural treatment of some deseases, some of them even more didfficult. Regarding the paultry fowl, we mention the fact that it is a verry good quality fowl, and special either, being extremely required in the big restaurants. That is why the wild quails, are verry desired and valued by the hunters. The clients could be the individual consumers or the public supply firms, the restaurants, the stores and the agro-alimentary market, with the en-detail or en-gros openning, even the firms that exports food supply.

4) THE PROFIT. Regarding the fact that in only 40 days the quail reach the maturity and start the process of making egs, and its production, regarding a good providing of environment and food, reach the nr of 90%, means that in a 500 heads farm, the production will be 450 eggs. The production costs are low, owing by the fact that quails, consumes less food (25 gr/24 hours from a special fodder, in fact a cereal mixture). Next to the fodder it's also necessary that in the food should be used a polyvitaminic, but it's verry proper. Other spendings are requiered for the electric power(a cheep bulb of 15 watts). The whole production spendings don't overage 5 $/day for 500 heads.

PECULIARITIES AND ADVANTAGES REGARDING THE QUAIL'S BREEDING

The breeding of the quails in little farms presents the fallowing peculiarities and advantages:
1. are needed reduced places for breeding. The quails breed in the cages allowing a large charge/square meter (it is recomended the arranging of some existent buildings)
2. some spendings reagarding the farm equipment, and the obtaine of the major material, are also almost little.
3. the quail's fowl and egs have famous qualities regarding some good apettite, adding the medical recomadations of consuming these products.
4. the quail's fowl is solicitated to the export, and universal world stone of this product is favorable it is also required some technical-organized measures very special regarding the surprises they offer us:
1. the breeding spaces have to be warm, as for the quail's cannot stand the coldnes and wet atmosphere.
2. the fodders used has to have the best quality as the food value and salubrity.
3. it is rather favorite the organsation of the quail's breeding in a continous fluency (reproduct, incubation, flowl's product and egg's product too, for consuming, or product remaked) along with activity during the whole year.

FARM ORGANISATION

We can meet different kind of quail's farms, but 3 of them worth to be disscused:
a) a mixed farm for eggs and flowls
b) a profiled farm on meat products
c) a profiled farm on egg product

At their turn, the farms can have a fluent complete course (reproduct, incubations product (flowl-egg).

MIXED FARM FOR FLOWL AND EGGS

This fluently organisation having an equal activity during the whole year also the farm of medium dimenssions will have the next steps:
-the parents:
-the youth 0-6 weeks having 600 heads a serie.
-grown-up 7-34 weeks having 800 females and 264 males from which:
7-14 weeks having 200 females and 66 males
15-21 weeks having 200 females and 26 males
22-28 weeks having 200 females and 66 males
29-34 weeks having 200 females and 66 males

The incubation station
- 1 incubator x 4000 places eggs
- 1eclozinator x 200 places eggs

The increasing youth
- the capacity 10500 places a serie (7 module x 1500 places)

The cutting spot
- for 625 quails a week

THE PROFILED FARM ON FLOWL'S PRODUCTION

Regarding the matterial possibilities and also the availeble space the farm for the flowl's productions could be predicted with a series of reproducts, incubation station alone with the cutting spot.

The farm organisation is:
-the parents
- youth - 0-6 weeks
- adult - 7-34 weeks

Incubation station

1 incubator
1 eclozinator (50% from capacity of the incubator)
- increasing chicken meat (7 module)
- cutting spot

From every adult female we obtain eggs for 29 weeks 139 eggs x 90% incubated x 72%, rezults 90 chickens a day.

A PROFILE FARM ON EGGS PRODUCTION

The simplest farm is the homely one made up from only one minibaterry of 30-35 quails, who assures the strictly product of eggs of han, of a family composed of 3-5 memebers, in which the conuming eggs is replaced for good with the quails eggs, famoused as being the diet eggs comparring with other spices of poultry (the hen, duck, guinea hen,). One hen's egg, weighting 62 gr can be replaced with a 5 eggs of quail.

THE GROWING OF THE PRODUCTION YOUTH

It could be grown as much as on earth, as inside batterries. For the bouth systems of growing we need:

- the washing and the desinfection of the growing species and there rest at least a week before beeing populated.
-kepping one day chickens in eclonizator till the perfect drying of those. We don't have to be affraid of there starving because they have food supply for 24 hours.
-the covering of the earth or inside the cage, if necessary, to be dry never wet aranged uniform.
-the warming system has to be in function in time, because when it becomes populated, the emperature is 37-40c
-at the period of becoming populated, it is recomanded as the chickens to be let there about 30 min in dark for resting.
- we have to be assured that there is water at the medium temperature, otherwise the low temperature can couse indigestions and too high permits to be full raised vitamines and the chickens will be taken to the populated zone, one by one, having their beak inside the water, for a first hydration, in order to occupy their adjusted places.
-the growing of youth it is made in too fases:
(the preparation: 10 days winter, 7 days summer) and the growing till 5 weeks, after they will be transfered to the adults spaces.

THE EXPOATATION OF THE ADULT QUAILS FOR REPRODUCTIONS

owing to the fact that almost 40 days the quail starts her eggs in the batterry of adults has to be done almost 5 weeks (35 days). The density in the cage has to be 80-100 heads on a square metter. So, for
saving spaces, the cages are arranged back in back, between the cages, we put some adjusting pipe for supplying water and food. Under the fodder pipe in a frontal wall we have a space of 2,7 cm for rolling egg into recolecting shelf.Tthe body temperature of the quail is 40-41 C. In winter time we have a large density of the inferior levels of the batterry and in the summer it will grow low at all levels. A quail egg is weighting 10% from the adult female weight. The production of eggs takes only 22-24h

INCUBATION

After the incubated egg, having a good shelf,and clean, in good conditions, we have to keep the eggs in temperature 10-15 C, but not for long time during the keeping the eggs have to be rolled with 180 C.
quail incubator needs 100 eggs till dozen, and can be as surphace or quantity. Normally, it takes modiificaton for the hen incubators,regarding, the temperature and humidity. The rolling-eggs 2,3 times in 24 h, is necessary for avoiding the steakof the yolk of an egg to the shelf, and the death of the embryo. After 14 days from the incubation the eggs are delievered in the ecluzinater. in here the eggs are porred daily with warm water, for avoiding deshidratation of the eggsthe breaking of the egg it is made in the large areea of the egg (from about 1/3 from the head having the rrom air). From 14 days of intriducing of the egg in incubator, the eggs can be transported in ecluzionator. daily we have to pour warm water for
notletting deshidratation of the eggs.

HOMELY FARM

A homely farm it is made by pleasure and pragmatic sense. The number of the quails is 10-15 heads. U can have plenty of eggs beside the free time you enjoy, because the quail's eggs are diet...and recomanded for heart affection and sexual pottential. aA man is assumed to eat one hen egg a day. A quail make 250 eggs a year, which imlies at the 4 members of a family 24-quails. So for a square meter can be hosted 120 adults quails,but for this kind of a cage, we need a special room, a hall and a balcony and a constant temperature between 10-20 C, without noize,so we can use this kind of cage 10
years, changing the quails between them. But actually, it is recomanded to begin the breeding with a small number of the quails, (100) and develpping of the farm it is made step by step, along with experience and the open market of the eggs. for 500 quails, u need special cages so thatis why we gather a surphace around 4mp(500x80). That is why for havin g a large space, the cages will be placed in the battery, for 4 levels, as for the breeding areea will stay narrow. It is recomanded a verry freshy room, well-lighted, having enough space for fodders, too.
