Breeding quails as a business
The other day I received a letter asking why there are no articles with business ideas on our site. Well, because I do not have time to write :). But we will somehow solve this problem … This article was not written by me, I confess, but in order to somehow smooth out the guilt … A man who once worked on this was writing. So, today on the agenda is quail breeding as a business idea.
Breeding quails as a business
Idea for business: quail breeding
Breeding quails is a very profitable and useful business. Quail grows 6 times faster than chickens, and eat much less food.
A quail egg contains many useful substances that relieve fatigue, affect mental activity, and also treat diseases of the liver and kidneys, stabilize potency. Such eggs contain many vitamins, proteins and a number of other useful minerals. There is nothing to compare quail meat, it is tastier and much healthier than other poultry meat.
Quails will provide your family with healing eggs, and with the right approach, you can earn decent money on breeding quails. After all, such a business does not require a special place for breeding this bird, it is enough to put one cage on one square meter and accommodate 200 quails there. A female quail carries about 25 eggs a month and eats only 0.5 kg of feed. The costs are small and quickly paid back.
You can also grow quail for meat, there are many meat breeds. To get 1 kg of meat, you need 5 carcasses of quail. You can sell meat at elite restaurants, where such meat is a delicacy and it is bought very expensive for 1 kg.
There is a minuscule minus in this business. Not all people know how useful quail eggs are and are simply afraid to bring something new to their diet, and prefer chicken eggs. It is precisely this factor that will interfere with the marketing of your products.
The incubation time of quail eggs is two weeks. Quails appear in a couple of hours. But there are chicks from one party, which are born on the second day. Such a difference may be due to poor quality eggs. Quails are born feathered already completely and already independently begin to feed. The weight of one quail is about 7 grams.
Unlike chickens, quails do not hatch eggs. Therefore, you need to buy a special incubator to withdraw quail. But, if you are going to seriously engage in breeding quails, then you need to buy a large incubator, and if only for yourself, it is better to buy adult birds
