Lukanov HOBBY POULTRY

         The Japanese quail, also known as Coturnix quail (Coturnix japonica) is a species of Old World quail found in East Asia. First considered a subspecies of the Common quail (Coturnix coturnix), it was distinguished as its own species in 1983. The Japanese quail has played an active role in the lives of humanity since the XII century, and continues to play major roles in industry and scientific research. Where it is found, the species is abundant across most of its range. Currently there are a few true breeding mutations of the Japanese quail, the breeds from the United States are: Texas A&M, English White, Golden Range, Red Range, Italian, Manchurian, Tibetan, Rosetta, Scarlett, Roux Dilute and Golden Tuxedo.

There are three types of domestic Japan quails:

• light type (120-140 g) with laying capacity 280-300 eggs/year with 8-10 g egg mass;

• medium (dual-purpose) type (180-280 g) with laying capacity 260-280 eggs/year with 10-14 g egg mass;

• heavy type (300-400 g) with laying capacity 220-260 eggs/year with 12-16 g egg mass.
