Feeding and feeding methods for clams
Quails primarily feed on live insects, avoiding dead ones. However, during periods of hunger, they may consume dead but non-rotten insects. During the active insect season, a 20-watt black light can attract enough insects in one night to meet the daily food needs of 400 quails. Insects can also be collected using gauze or white cloth nets in the wild. Additionally, earthworms, mealworms, and fly larvae can be bred artificially as supplementary feed. These protein-rich live feeds are easy to raise, nutritious, widely available, and reproduce quickly, making them ideal for addressing the demand for live food.
For artificial feeding, a compound feed can be made by mixing 30% corn flour, 30% rice flour, 20% wheat flour, 15% pumpkin (or sweet potato), and small amounts of eggs, fish meal, shell powder, vitamins, yeast tablets, and trace elements. The mixture is cooked into a paste and shaped into small pieces resembling a quail’s head. It's important to gradually introduce this feed to young quails so they develop a habit of eating it.
Quails are more active at night, so feeding should be done before dusk. Their daily food intake is roughly 5% of their body weight, which can be estimated based on the total weight of the quails being raised. Observing their feeding behavior is crucial—adjust the amount of food accordingly. If there's leftover food, reduce the portion; if the food is eaten quickly, increase the quantity.
Insects attracted by black lights can be allowed to move freely, as they naturally climb toward the light. For less mobile live foods like cockroaches, mealworms, fly larvae, and silkworms, wooden troughs can be used. These are placed in fixed locations within the rearing area for the quails to pick from. Proper feeding practices ensure healthy growth and efficient management of the flock.
