**Preparation for Breeding Management**
During the early stages of breeding preparation, it's important to ensure that the birds receive a balanced diet. The feed should not be less than the recommended level, and it's advisable to include feeds with higher fat content. A variety of feed sources should be offered, along with plenty of clean, fresh water. As the breeding period approaches, the diet should be adjusted based on the body condition of the quails. Increasing the full nutritional value of the feed by adding more animal-based ingredients and vitamin supplements is essential. To maintain health, it's beneficial to introduce a diverse range of feed options, including small amounts of yeast, malt, and vitamins each month. Feeding estrus-inducing foods like onions and garlic can help stimulate breeding behavior. Additionally, maintaining proper insulation and improving the overall environment, such as providing clean drinking water and a comfortable living space, is crucial during this time.
**Breeding Period Management**
During the actual breeding phase, the diet must be nutritionally complete, with adequate levels of crude protein and essential vitamins. Animal-based feeds, such as fish, meat, dairy products, and eggs, should form the main component of the rations. Maintaining good hygiene in the living area is vital—regularly replacing soiled bedding and keeping the environment clean helps prevent disease. It's also important to manage mating times effectively, ideally after feeding, to maximize reproductive success.
**Pregnancy Feeding Management**
Once the female quail has mated and become pregnant, her nutritional needs increase significantly. The feed should be high-quality, fresh, and appealing. It should contain sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals to support both the mother and developing embryos. The consistency of the feed should be slightly softer to aid digestion, and feeding should be done regularly throughout the day. During pregnancy, it's important to keep the environment calm and quiet, avoid sudden disturbances, and monitor the quail’s appetite, digestion, and activity levels closely.
**Lactation Feeding Management**
To support milk production, special lactation diets can be introduced. These should include increased levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The feed should be finely ground and easy to digest, and the quantity should not be restricted unless necessary. If the young refuse to nurse or if milk supply is low, artificial feeding can be used. This involves mixing finely ground fresh animal feed with cereal-based feed and adding vitamins, then combining everything with milk to create a nutritious substitute.
**Recovery Period Management**
After the breeding cycle ends, the quails enter a recovery phase until their reproductive systems are ready for the next cycle. During this time, the females should gradually return to a normal feeding regimen. The amount of animal-based feed in the diet should remain consistent, and the protein content should be increased to support overall health and vitality. This period is critical for restoring energy and preparing the quails for future breeding cycles.
