If it is not handled properly, it will be fatal.
As a result, quail appetite usually decreases, so productivity decreases dramatically.
The following are the causes and ways to deal with stress in quails:
- Overcoming Stress in Sounding Quails
Cause:
Sound stress usually occurs because of a sudden startling sound.
Examples of sounds are firecrackers, celebration people and others.
How to overcome :
To avoid the quail not tress because the above is by giving music inside the cage continuously, so that the birds become accustomed to the noise. - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Air Circulation
Cause:
Circulation of air that is not smooth will cause the room to smell ammonia and stuffy.
This can cause cannibalism in quails.
If it is not immediately resolved, quail appetite decreases, productivity decreases and is susceptible to snot.
How to overcome :
Make air circulation smooth by adding air vents or using blowers. - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Changes in Quail Feed
Cause:
Substitution of feed drastically will make quail stress and decrease production gradually several days after the change of feed.
If the quality of substitute feed is worse then quails will be difficult to lay eggs normally again.
How to overcome :
When going to do quail feed changes try to make a change of feed gradually.
A good change of feed is not to reduce the nutritional content of the previous feed. - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Drinking Water
Good drinking water for quails is sterile drinking water from various bacteria.
In this case good drinking water uses ground water with a depth of more than 30 meters.
Deep ground water cannot breed bacteria, especially coli bacteria.
When using well water it is recommended that once a month well water is given chlorine, this is done for the development of coli bacteria. - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Feeding and Drinking Places
The place for quail feed and drink must be proportional.
To avoid stress, the feed area should adjust the population in the enclosure.
Likewise for the place to drink.
- Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Cage Density
In the starter period cage density affects the growth of quails.
During laying (Layer) cage density affects productivity and high stress levels.
Cages that are too dense are very troublesome for the movement of quails in looking for food and drink, this makes stress quail and production is never optimal. - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Lighting
To produce an egg, quails need enough light to illuminate their feed and drinking places.
Lack of lighting will reduce appetite for quails.
By indirectly inhibiting productivity in quails.
How to overcome :
Give enough lighting - Overcoming Stress in Quails Due to Moving Cages
Moving cages definitely makes quails experience stress.
The distance and duration of delivery will make quail stress and dehydration.
How to overcome :
Quail delivery should be done at night and full feeding to quickly recover stamina of quails.
