Quail: production, management and nutrition

Quail farming is the raising of quail for the production of eggs or meat. This activity is relatively recent, mainly in Brazil, so many people are still unaware of it. Although quail farming in Brazil does not have the same consolidated tradition as in European countries, we already have great producers and high-level researchers in this area of scientific knowledge. We wrote this book as a guide, a support tool, intended for students of zootechnical, veterinary and agronomic areas, as well as technicians and producers, but we hope it will be read by all those who work with and like these birds. This book will help to describe the main points of raising quail for fattening and/or laying in relation to productive, reproductive and nutritional management. With this book the reader will be able to better understand from the characteristics of this bird to how to use the techniques of scientific methodology in quail research.
