Quails are smaller sized bird, so they can be raised within small place.
Quails grow very fast and gain maturity faster than any other poultry birds. Adult broiler quail weights around 210 gm at 4 weeks of age.
All of the above poultry-keeping methods are used in the developing world,but the majority of the enterprises are backyard poultry and farm flock production. The poultry and egg sectors are highly fragmented. Most of the production is carried out by a large number of farmers, each with a very small flock. The greater part of produce is sold in markets close to the farms.
Day-old chicks are usually obtained from local hatcheries licensed by international hybrid breeding companies. Farmers or cooperatives of farmers may choose between varieties of chickens for egg production and meat production.
The small chicks can be either naturally or artificially brooded. If artificially brooded, small chicks must be placed in a separate house from laying chickens and it is necessary to protect the chicks from predators, diseases and catching colds.
This stage of brooding lasts for eight weeks. In the first four weeks of life, small chicks need to be housed in a brooding box. Some typical types of brooders are shown below and on the previous page.
Typically, a layer’s production cycle lasts just over a year (52-56 weeks). During the production cycle many factors influence egg production; therefore, the cycle must be managed effectively and efficiently in order to provide maximum output and profitability.
Layer poultry farming means raising egg laying poultry birds for the purpose of commercial egg production. Layer chickens are such a special species of hens, which need to be raised from when they are one day old. They start laying eggs commercially from 18-19 weeks of age.
exotic breeds
.Based on the place of origin (Standard or official classification)
.Based on utility, economics or commercial value
Turkey breeds, quail varieties, duck breeds, comb types
For better poultry farming, cognizance about different breeds should be important. To go either layer or broiler farming, breeds are the considerable factors. All are differentiated in terms of their geographical distribution, utility, colour etc.

The Recipe for Bobwhite Quail, Turkey, Songbirds, Pollinators and So Much More. A presentation by David A. Bryan, Private Lands Wildlife Biologist for the VT Conservation Management Institute.
hello friends! Spend a little time to look my powerpoint presentation. Comment if I used properly do's and dont's in preparing ppt. Suggest if necessary on how I improve my skill in doing this so. Thank you :)
The emu is the second-largest living bird by height, after its ratite relative, the ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird and the only extant member of the genus Dromaius.
Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 1.9 meters (6.2 ft) in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 50 km/h (31 mph); they forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. They drink infrequently, but take in copious amounts of water when the opportunity arises. They are long lived up to 30years.
Breeds OF Diversified species of Poultry.pptxHarshiniAlapati
The term “Poultry” refers to all the domesticated species of birds reared for the purpose of eggs, meat and feathers. Species of birds under this category includes chicken, ducks, quails, turkey, guineafowl, geese, pheasants, emu and ostrich. The domesticated chicken is most widely propagated in commercial purpose to meet the demands of eggs and meat. The other species of poultry are less popular.
Duck account for 7% of poultry production, mostly confined to the coastal states of the country.
Japanese quail farming is gaining attention with better feed efficiency, lesser production cost.
Turkey, guinea fowl and gesse farming is confined to state and central govt farms, educational and research institutions.
Emu and ostrich are reared for skins, leather and oil besides ornamental purpose.
I.DUCKS
Ducks are reared for the purpose of eggs (Khaki Campbell), meat (Pekin) and ornamental (crested). Duck eggs are popular in north –eastern states, West Bengal and Kerala; where they are mostly reared in free range system.
Mostly reared under extensive or semi intensive system.
Indigenous ducks are highly disease resistance and can survive by grazing in the rice fields, canals, ponds, marshy lands, irrigation tanks and rivers. Hence they are more popular than Khaki Campbell ducks.
The egg weight will be 65-80g, depending on the breed / variety. They can lay 120- 180 eggs per year for 2 to 3 years.
Ducks lay most of their eggs during the night and early in the day, which suits the nomadic system of rearing;
Ducks consume spilled grains in harvested fields, and insects and snails in wet fields by foraging, and so supplement part of their feed requirement on their own, which greatly saves feed cost making them economical to maintain;
Ducks require less care and attention in management than chickens
The major disease challenging the ducks are duck plague, for which all the ducks are vaccinated periodically, starting from two months of age.
Breeds of ducks are classified based on the size and utility. Skin of most breeds is yellow except Aylesbury and Muscovy which have pinkish white. Egg colour is usually light brown except Indian Runner – white eggs, Rouen – blue as well as white eggs, Cayuga and Black East Indie – initially black later stages blue colour
TURKEY
Turkeys are native of North and Central America. These are kept only for meat. In India turkeys are almost non-existent and constitute less than 1% of total poultry population. Turkeys belong to single breed, however there are different varieties of turkey which differ in size, plumage colour and fleshing properties. There are 7 standard varieties of turkey namely Bronze, White Holland, Bourbon red, Narragansett, Black, Slate, Beltsville small white. The varieties of turkeys used commercially are Broad Breasted Bronze, Broad Breasted Large White and Beltsville Small White. Due to high cost of feed combined with poor feed efficiency, turkeys are often fed with vegetable.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Easy to handle
Adopt to varied environment
Fast growing bird and short generation
interval
3-4 generations in a year
Pilot animal for genetic, nutritional and
physiological studies.
As a source of egg and meat production
Popular in the countries like Japan,
Hongkong, Singapore and France.
5. Requires minimum floor space
Needs low investment
Quails are comparatively sturdy birds
Can be marketed at an early age ie. five weeks
Early sexual maturity - starts laying eggs in about six to seven weeks of
age
High rate of egg laying -280 eggs per year
Quail meat is tastier than chicken and has less fat content. It promotes
body and brain development in children.
Nutritionally, the quail eggs are on par with that of chicken eggs.
Moreover, they contain less cholesterol.
Quail meat and eggs are a nutritious diet for pregnant and nursing
mothers.
Advantages of quail farming
6. Quails are very robust to diseases
Very short generation interval
No vaccination is required
Low space requirement
Early maturity
Very high laying intensity- female starts laying at an
age of 42 days
Quail farming as economically viable and
technically feasible
7. Practical Utility
Quail offered an opportunity
to alternative the chicken farming
It is useful as table delicacy

Female: long & pointed feathers with black speckles on
the throat and upper breast.
Male: rusty brown throat and breast feathers, cloacal
gland.
Female/Male Japanese Quail
Difference b/w Male & Female
9. Deep litter system
6 quails can be reared in a sq.ft. of floor
space.
After 2 weeks, Quails can be reared in
cages.
This will help to gain good body weight.
Housing
10. Each unit is about 6 feet in length and 1 foot in width,
and subdivided into 6 subunits.
The cages can be arranged up to 6 tiers high.
Bottom of the cage is fixed with removable wooden
plates
Long narrow feed troughs are placed in front of the
cages.
Water troughs are placed at the back of the cages.
Commercial egg layers are usually housed in colonies of
10-12 birds per cage.

Feed Management
Feed material should be made
of small particles
A 5 weeks old quail consumes
about 500 gms of feed
Quails of 6 month old,
consumes about 30-35 gms of
feed per day.
Quails require about 400 gms
feed for the production of 12
eggs.
The particle size is reduced by
grinding the feed for one more
time.
12. Classified as, Starter (0-4 wks), Finisher (4-6wks) and layer or breeder (6 wks
onwards).
Starter period is more crucial and needs special management and feeding care.

Is quail meat preferred over chicken meat?
18. Is quail farming a suitable option in terms of
meat and egg production?
• Early marketing age
• Early sexual maturity
• High rate of lay (280-300 eggs per year)
• Occupation of a minimum floor space
• Eight to ten birds can be kept in the same
space housing a single chicken
19. o Incubators that are used for hatching chicken eggs can be used
o A wire mesh or grid of 1.5 x 1 inch should be fitted on the setter
trays
o Incubation period for quail eggs is 18 days.
oEggs should be stored at 130
C at 80% RH for 5-7 days
oFumigated with formaldehyde gas for 20 minutes before storage.
o Incubation requirement are as follows:
Duration (Days) Temperature (deg.F) Humidity (%) Turning of Eggs
0-14 99.5 60
Through 45 deg. 5-6
times a day.
15 to 18 98.5 70 Not required
Incubation and hatching
20. If you are going for such operations of producing chicks at
your farm, following information may be of help to you:
Male / female ratio in the parent stock should be 1:2
or less.
Quails start laying eggs at the age of 6 weeks, Quails
lay most of the eggs during evening hours (Between 3 to
6 PM).
Fertile eggs from the female of age 10 to 20 weeks can
be collected
Eggs should be collected very frequently and carefully
Eggs should be stored at 550
F with 70% relative
humidity before incubation.
21. Management of quail chicks
The day old quail chicks usually weigh 8-10 g.
The quail chicks need more temperature.
Absence of adequate temperature and exposure
to high speed cool wind leads to clustering of young
ones, which results in high mortality.
22. Quails are very sensitive during first 2 wks of their life
Quails are not vaccinated
No dewormer used
Resistant to 8 starins of Eimeria pathogenic to chicken
Brooder pneumonia reported in quails (use calcium
propionate@2kg/tonnes feed).
Ulcerative enteritis (Clostridium colinum)
Sterptomycin, bacitricin, and neomycin @50-
100g/tonnes of feed.
Mortality rate 5-10%
