Young quails stocking density for growing depending on slaughter age

Abstract

The zootechnical and economic efficiency of quail rearing depends, in particular, on the optimal stocking density of the birds. The research have been carried out in which quails were grown up to 6, 7 and 8 weeks of age in cages at a stocking density of 55, 60, 70, 90 or 110 heads per 1 m2 of cage floor area. As a result of studying a number of zoo-technical and economic indicators, it was found that the most effective is the growing of quails with a stocking density of 70 head/m2 up to 6 weeks of age.
