It can also lay eggs steadily in winter.
After entering the winter, the temperature dropped gradually, the sunshine became shorter, and most of the quail egg production decreased and even stopped production. In order to maintain stable egg production in the winter, the following five measures must be taken for raising: 1. Warming temperature, increasing appetite at a suitable temperature between 15°C and 25°C, producing more eggs, and higher fertilization rate of eggs; lower than 15°C The egg production rate has dropped significantly. Therefore, in the winter or early spring should take measures to increase thermal insulation, night in the cage should be covered with insulation objects, increase the cage density properly, can be kept density per square meter, can be kept 90-100 per square meter. Or in the leeward sunny place double plastic greenhouse (two layers of film spaced 5 - 10 cm) raising quail; you can also build double sheds, filled with chaff, chaff, sawdust, etc., at night covered straw insulation. Second, increase the light production of egg tarts each day requires 12-14 hours of light time. In winter, artificial lighting must be added. Every 30-40 square meters is equipped with a 40-watt electric light. Turn on the light 2 hours before dawn and turn off the light 2 hours after dark. Maintain a constant light level and time. Third, balanced nutrition Winter should be fed a comprehensive nutritional feed, and provide the right amount of sand for free access to feed, in order to promote digestion. At the same time provide clean and warm water for drinking. The feed formula for winter quail feed was: 15% soybean meal, 10% concentrate, 15% fish meal, 54% corn, 3.5% bran, 1.5% bone meal, 1% hay powder, and vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin D were added as appropriate. Fourth, clean up the environment, timid, frightened, after the egg production rate decreased or produce soft shell eggs. In the daily feeding, picking eggs, cleaning feces, add water, the action should be light, do not easily change the breeder. Like summer management, daily maintenance of cages and cleanliness of eating and drinking are continued. Every cubic meter of space is fumigated with 25 ml of formalin and 12.5 g of potassium permanganate. Every 7-14 days with 2% -3% of the Soviet Union children's water disinfection of the utensils inside and outside once. Fifth, timely prevention and control of disease winter cages are generally more intensive, once the disease, timely isolation and treatment. Whitefly ticks can be used for a total of 7 days for continuous feeding (20 grams per 100 kg of feed plus furazolidone). Treatment of ulcerative colitis, intramuscular injection with penicillin, 10,000 units each time, sooner or later, or fed with sulfamethoxazole, one tablet each time, the first double, twice a day, continuous administration 5 days. For the treatment of bronchitis, 0.005% tylosin was added to the feed for 10 days, stopped for 5 days, and then administered for 5 days. Tylosin and erythromycin were added to drinking water while feeding. China Agricultural Network Editor
