Needs of feed for Quail

The feed is absolutely necessary by the quail, which feed on natural fulfillment obtained by hunting or looking for grains, fruits, plants, or insects.As for quail feed who grounded must be met by the breeder. Feed provided must have a good nutritional value because it will have an impact on growth and development of quail.

Feed that contains a complete and good nutrition helps the growth acceleration of quail, reproductive processes, and egg production. Completeness of nutrients in animal feed should be identical to the content of substances of the body on the quail.

Feeding should be accurate quality, proper measure and right on target. The accurate quality is feeding with utilizing a quality feed materials according to the nutritional needs of quail. The proper measure is the amount and content of nutrients feed given to be precise. Excessive feeding can lead to wastage. In addition, an excess of certain nutrients can also lead to malnutrition and the difficulty of laying. As for feeding less can lead to decreased productivity of egg and growth that abnormal. right on target is a way of feeding (nutrient content or type of feed) according to the needs of the quail. Quail for growth period, it provided fodder for future growth. For the production, provided fodder for the production. Quail chicks should be given in the form of mash feed.

The transition of the feed is important as well to note. For example, the from the starter feed to the grower or grower feed to layer feeds. The transition of the feeds can also be the turn of factory animal feed to own feed creation. Any changes the form and different types of the feed can affect the condition of the quail. The transition gradually carried out for 3-4 days before and after the change of phase of the breeding. For example, the transition from grower feed to layer feed, mixing is 60%: 40%, 50%: 50%, 40%: 60% and so use 100% layer feed.
Daily feeding should be done during the day in late afternoon (14.00) till night (22.00 hours). Feeding at this time can increase the productivity of their eggs.

 Feeding quail livestock should pay attention to the level of efficiency. The goal is not to become a waste and disposal quail feed. Two things that led to the occurrence of the deficiency in utilization of the quail feed as follows:
 - Waste in use of the substances in the feed. For example, feeding quail to the layer with the protein levels above 28%. In fact, the granting of high levels of a protein that is not required for the layer because of high protein used for formation of meat.

- Waste in Dosing. For example, the Layer Quail only need feed about 20-22 gfram/quail/day, but given feed 30 gram/quail/day so it's going to happen the rest of the feed.
