Quail Raising

If you live near San Rafael and San Ildelfonso Bulacan you could find some backyard quail raisers.  According to them pugo raising started in San Rafael and it’s spread throughout the Bulacan area.

Many are enticed to venture in this business because you need only a small space and capital to start. And everyday your income is tangible once it started to lay.

Here are the most common breeds of quail in the Philippines:

Japanese Seattle
Japanese Taiwan
Negro
Silver
Tuxedo

Price of stock:

The price of the quail would range from 7 pesos to 30 pesos.  One farmer told me around  2 years ago he bought the quail for 7 pesos each and the quail is around 90% all female.  The other 10 percent is male and this should be culled. The ratio of female is high because before the breeder delivered the quail they have already tried to identified the sex of the quail ( as much as possible they give you all female). Another scheme in buying the quail is the Mix sex, here the quail is delivered as is and the possibility of male to female ratio is 50-50 but the price is also half. If  the usual price is 7 pesos the unsex would range to 3.50 pesos.

Housing:

Usually a 2 feet by 4 feet cage would hold around 50 quail. You could find a quail housing on top of one another (battery type). A ¼ inch mesh wire is used for the flooring and the  wall/sides. This setup would provide good air circulation.

Feeding:

There are different articles in the net that will tell you how much to give per day per bird But most of this is not really that applicable. When buying a feed for the first time and you don’t know how much to feed the animal always ask the feed distributor or the breeder on which your quail came from. They have the most accurate idea on how much to give.

Just to give a practical idea a quail would eat chick booster for the first 2 weeks of it’s life.  It would eat from 5 grams per day up.  After the two weeks you will shift to chick starter and you will give this to the quail up to the time that 30% of the quail population lays egg. When you attain 30% you will then shift to quail laying feeds. Price  of Quail laying feeds would range   from 800-1000 pesos.

Egg Production:

An average of 80% per day. To some extent around 90% egg production.  Egg price would range from 0.60 centavos to 0.80 centavos per egg.

thanks po,

check your mail

thanks po...

hi doc,
nais ko lang po sanang malaman kung kailan magsisimulang mangitlog ang pugo at hangang kailan po ba ito mangingitlog po?
salamat po and God Bless you always..

i do believe it would start at 1 1/2 to 2 months of age. start na sya then almost 1 year siya mangingitlog. pero on the old days meron umaabot ng  1  and 1/2m years to 2 years. the sudden  drop of egg production is attributed daw sa genetics . pero inbred kasi ang nangyari sa atin

salamat po doc.,
eh doc curious lang po ako.,pwede bang malaman ang kasarian ng pugo na nasa itlog pa lang?
sabi k c ng ilan ay kung ang itlog na parihaba ay lalaki daw yun at yung medyo pabilog ang babae.. totoo po ba yun doc?

tnx po doc...
 

so far , ala po akong nabasa ganyan. usually pagnapisa na saka nyo malalaman kung babae ito or lalake

ano po ba ang palatandaan ng babae or lalaking pugo sa bagong pisa palang doc?tnx po..

I am not familiar pero color pattern ng feathers po ang basihan. meron isang batik na  brown an g feather tapos meron naman brown lang siya, i forgot which is which...

sir,im interested in raising pugo. where can i buy a day old chick for my stock,thanks

try po nila ito

Hello po,

Very interesting po skin ang quail raising. Ask ko lng po your expert opinions if gusto ko pong makapagearn ng 20k/month sa pagpupugo, ilan pong pugo kelangan ko?

Pahabol doc, pahingi sana ako ng feasiblity study na rin, francisfc_dizon@yahoo.com.
Thanks.

mga 10t-15t quails malamang makuha mo na yun 2ok na kita per month

gandang araw po mga kuya.. tanong ko lang po kumikita ba sa itlog ng pugo and hindi po ba mahirap maghanap ng market nito.. common din ba na nabibili ang quail feeds sa mga tindahan ng agricultural supply?

 i heard some say na kulang daw ang supply ng itlog ng pugo ngayon although di ko siya mavalidate kung true yung rumors.

just always remember na sa laying business ang pinaka mabilis na pag unlad at pagkalugi... dito kasi everyday input and output ang pinag uusapan.

good day po sa lahat...interested poh ako sa quail raising business,,uhmmm sa mga expert po dian magkano poh kaya ung magiging puhunan assuming start ako sa 1000 or 1500 pcs na quail?/including ung mga cage but excluding ung feeds??salamat poh..godbles
