Vitamins are widely used in quail breeding industry. They can not only supplement necessary nutrients for quails, but also play a role in improving immunity, preventing disease, and resisting stress. . It is now the hot summer. What I want to share is L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Vitamin C plays a big role in quail breeding and can deal with various adverse effects such as cold, heat, group transfer, transportation, vaccine immunity, and diseases. stress.

1. What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C (also known as ascorbic acid) is a slightly yellowish or white crystalline powder that is easily soluble in water. Under normal circumstances, the quail body can synthesize it itself. However, as the intensification of the quail breeding industry continues to increase, the density of quail breeding increases, and if there are slight stress factors such as temperature, immunity, and transportation, vitamin C in the body will be obviously insufficient, and even deficiencies may occur. Therefore, during the quail breeding process, it is necessary to supplement vitamin C to the quail at the appropriate time.

2. What harm does high temperature in summer do to quail?

1. High temperature will cause the reproductive performance of quail to decrease and the quality of quail eggs to decrease.

2. High temperature will cause the immunity of quail to decrease and increase the risk of disease.

3. High temperature will cause quails to reduce their feed intake, resulting in reduced egg production and even disease.

4. High temperature will accelerate the loss of calcium in the quail body, resulting in a decrease in eggshell quality.

5. High temperature will cause uneven growth and weight of animals and uneven size of quail eggs.

3. The role of vitamin C in quails< /p>

1. Reduce heat stress: Vitamin C can increase quail’s resistance to heat stress, increase appetite, increase ovarian metabolic function, and increase egg production rate of laying quails.

2. Improve quail immunity: When vaccinating quails, in order to reduce the immune stress response, Vc can be added 2 to 3 days before the vaccination.

3. Alleviate the stress response of quails: 1 to 2 days before sudden temperature changes, transfers, transportation, etc., add Vc to feed or drinking water to enhance anti-stress ability.

4. Improve eggshell quality: Adding vitamin C to feed or drinking water can promote calcium absorption and reduce the egg breaking rate.

5. Prevent quails from pecking in groups: Adding vitamin C to feed or drinking water can reduce the phenomenon of quails pecking at anus and feathers, and accelerate wound healing.

6. Detoxification function: Vitamin C has a certain decomposition effect on certain toxic substances in the quail body, such as lead, arsenic, benzene and some bacterial toxins.

Vitamin C can effectively reduce the heat stress impact of high temperature on pigs. It can be drank and mixed with ingredients, and can be freely added to the quail for use, which is convenient and fast.
