Production Performance of Three Strains of Layer Quail at the Early Stage of Growth

Early production performance of the Korea quail and the Chinese recessive white feather quail was studied.The results showed that the growth rate of three strains was not significant defference(P0.05),the Chinese recessive white feather quail was relatively slower than the other two.The Feed coversion efficiency of the Korea quail was lower than that of the Chinese recessive white feather quail,without significant defference(P0.05).The early mortality of the Chinese reccssive white feather quail was higher.Providing the three strains start to lay the first egg at the same age,the feeding cost before the laying period of the Chinese recessive white feather quail was less than that of the Korea quail.
