1. Breeding density is too high

Quails are mostly raised in three-dimensional multi-layers, with about 60 birds per layer, but the temperature difference between each layer is 2-3°C. In practice, farmers will house 65 quails. -70 birds to prevent sparse density due to death, which leads to high density in the early stage, relatively small activity area, high mortality, and relatively low egg production rate after production begins.

2. Quails start laying too early or too late

Quails start laying normally Around 42 days of age, the onset of labor is usually advanced to around 35 days of age in summer. The physical and sexual maturity are not synchronized, and the body is small, making it difficult to maintain the onset of labor or the onset of labor is at different times;

Three , Incomplete, insufficient and unbalanced feed nutrition

The higher the quality of the feed, the higher the egg production rate; but if the protein in the feed is too high, the egg production rate of quails will decrease or even stop production.

4. Causes of diseases

Newcastle disease, influenza, mold, pullorum, E. coli, etc. will all affect the egg production rate of quail to varying degrees, and can cause white-shell eggs, sand Shell eggs, brown shell eggs, etc., significantly reduce egg quality.

5. Stress response

Quails during the laying period are particularly sensitive to fright, wind, rain, cloudy weather, environmental temperature differences, color, rodent damage, etc. Therefore, it is required to keep the quail shed environment quiet.
