Artificial breeding techniques

First, feeding sites and facilities. Xixiju Mountain rock slopes, cave cracks, under eaves, or tree holes are ideal locations for the breeding of this species. Therefore, the breeding site should be chosen in a well-ventilated area that is cool in winter and shady in summer, making it easier to attract insects. It's important to ensure the environment remains clean and dry to prevent disease. Second, feeding and management. These creatures are most active during the night, becoming more active in summer when they come out of dormancy. They start moving when the temperature reaches 15°C, and begin hunting when it rises above 17°C. Their peak activity occurs between 22°C and 30°C. During hot summer days when temperatures exceed 32°C, water should be sprayed to cool down the environment. The habitat should remain humid, with relative humidity maintained between 60% and 80%. As a carnivorous species, they primarily feed on live insects and should not be given dead food, as this can lead to health issues. Third, reproduction. The breeding season typically runs from March to August. Male and female quails are easily distinguishable: females are plumper, slightly yellow, and have a rounder body, while males are slimmer and more elongated. A healthy female weighs around 100g. The recommended male-to-female ratio is 20:1 to 30:1. Too many males can lead to aggression and fights over food, which may result in tail biting and reduced medicinal value. To manage breeding, females are kept in cages separated by a paper grid, with a thin layer of paper placed on the grid so that eggs can be laid on the paper. This makes it easy to remove the eggs without damaging them for artificial incubation. A cloth shade is placed outside the cage to provide a quiet and dark environment for egg-laying. During the first half of the laying period, more insects should be provided. When using artificial compound feed, adding sugar, fishmeal, and eggs can enhance nutrition. After each pair of eggs is laid, mating can be repeated, and another set of eggs can be produced every 50 days. Unlike some animals, these eggs do not require both male and female hatching. Under conditions of 70% to 80% humidity and 30°C to 32°C, the eggs will hatch after 70 to 80 days. Newly hatched individuals should be kept separate from adults to avoid being eaten. During the first six days, they should be fed small amounts of sugar water. After that, they can be introduced to small insects. Once they reach about 10 cm in length, they can be moved to the breeding room. By carefully controlling temperature, early hatching can be achieved, extending their growth period and improving survival rates through the winter. With proper care, they can grow to about 30 cm in length within one and a half years and are then ready for processing and drying. Fourth, disease prevention. When pesticides are used in nearby fields, black lights should be turned off to prevent the poisoning of insects, which could harm the quails. Common diseases include angular cheilitis and stomatitis, which can cause loss of appetite and even death. If any signs of illness are observed, the affected individuals should be isolated immediately. The affected area can be treated with a 0.5% potassium furanide solution, and vitamin B1 and C can be administered three times daily at 2.5 mg each time. Regular monitoring and prompt treatment are essential to maintain the health of the population.
