ABSTRACT
The Japanese quail is a common commercial species extensively bred for tender meat and egg production. The finishing period for fattening of quail chicks is very short (4 to 5 weeks). As a result turn over rate in high. The bird is also suitable for backyard farming in small and portable cages. This can be a source of additional income by feeding richen left over with little supplemental feeds. Marketing of quails 9meat and eggs) is quite easy due to high demand.
