Poultry breeding

Quail farming has recently become the fastest growing branch of the home farming industry. This is because the cost of keeping and feeding this species of bird can yield a good profit. Quail are also prized for their eggs, which are a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. A small number of quails can even be raised in an apartment.

Muscovy ducks, also known as Muscovy ducks, are quite common in Europe due to their excellent, lean meat. These large birds can be found in the wild in Mexico and some other South American countries. Their undemanding nature, lack of fussiness in food and care, and their ability to survive make these remarkable birds ideal for raising at home.

Breeding and raising broilers at home differs from raising regular chickens. These birds are exclusively meat-producing, so they don't survive long enough to lay eggs. Due to their high meat productivity, raising broilers at home is cost-effective. They maintain an ideal feed-to-meat ratio.

Beginning quail farmers should consider several housing requirements. If you have your own small farm or backyard, you can house the birds in a separate room. It's important to maintain a consistent temperature and lighting conditions in this room. A comfortable temperature for quail is between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Those fortunate enough to own a garden plot often try to raise not only various plants but also animals. The most popular farm animal is, of course, the chicken. Hobby poultry farmers show equal interest in both layers and broilers, as both chicken meat and eggs are healthy and nutritious foods that are essential in a healthy diet.
