QUAIL MANAGEMENT
OPERATIONAL AND MANAGEMENT
BROODING & CARE OF YOUNG BIRDS
Supplementary heat needed 2-4 weeks after hatching, use brooder
Wire cages should have floor covered with coarse paper
HOUSING AND EQUIPMENT
House well-ventilated, with rodent/predator control
Egg production: preferably small pair-cages (125 cm² per bird) – birds tend to
hide eggs in litter
Feed troughs, water troughs (chicks), nipple drinkers/cups (adults)
LIGHT REQUIREMENTS
14-18 hours of light
NUTRITION
Commercial poultry/chicken feed
For quails nearing maturity: Ca and P should be increased (shell grit, ground
limestone)

QUAIL MANAGEMENT
System used for quails farming.
Feeding system
• Feeder tray
• Feeder troughs
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
• Pan (hanging)
• Linear feeder
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Drinking system
• Manual drinker
(insert stones)
• Nipple drinker
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Additives
Antistress (during few days of delivery)
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Biosecurity.
- a plan to prevent the entry of disease
agent into a farm and spread among the
farms
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Disease agents
- enter a farm via biological (living) and fomites (non-
living) carriers
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Ulcerative Enteritis :
an acute, highly contagious disease as it can start suddenly
and cause 100% mortality in quails; occurred often in deep
litter system compared to cage system
• Caused by:
bacterium Clostridium colinum.
• Route of infection:
oral and transmission is from faeces of sick or
carrier birds or via flies
• Treatment and preventation:
Antibiotic
All-in/all-out production
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Quail Bronchitis:
affecting young quails (age less than 4 weeks);
morbidity and mortality can reach 100%
• Caused by: Coronavirus
• Transmission: fecal-oral
• Symptoms:
- Tracheal rales
- sneezing and coughing but no nasal
discharge
- Airsacculitis
• Treatment: Prevention is better
than cure as no vaccine for this
disease
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Coccidiosis:
affecting all ages after 7 days of old
• Caused by: protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria
(E. tenella, E. maxima, E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. dispersa)
• Transmission: via the droppings from infected birds
• Symptoms:
- Weight loss
- Diarrhea (watery/bloody dropping)
- Dehydration; lead to malnutrition and fatal
• Treatment: Sulfonamides (antibiotics), or vaccination
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Advantages disadvantages
Easy to Raise It is hard to maintain Quail Chicks.
High Demand
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
The Challenge faced by quail industry in Malaysia
Diseases
Feed price for quail
are not uniform and
expensive
QUAIL MANAGEMENT
Conclusion
Quail farming can be an affordable way to
generate some extra income.
