Japanese Quail
Japanese Quail
Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) has created a huge impact in poultry sector and many commercial quail farms have been established throughout the country, both for egg and meat production. CARI has been a nerve center for introduction of this poultry species from abroad way back 1974, its multiplication, genetic improvement, development of quail production technology and dissemination far and wide in the country. Through concerted efforts, a workable package of feeding, management and health care practices have been developed to support quail production in a scientific manner. This institute has been maintaining pure lines of quail (broiler and layer types), and their consistent supply to both public and private sectors in the country for commercial exploitation.
