Production of quail eggs wholesale at home. Expanding the capabilities of advanced egg processing Industrial technology for the production of quail eggs

In this material:

Quail breeding as a business seems very attractive to start a project with a small initial investment. To master the growing process, just start quail farm for 500 birds. This will not be expensive, but, in addition to mastering the technology, it will allow you to make a profit within the first 3 months, which will recoup all the starting investments.

Why choose quail farming?

There are many reasons why the quail business is profitable:

• high profitability;
• low start-up costs;
• no need to hire staff;
• very flexible project;
• does not require much space;
• low competition;
• You can practice not only in rural but also in urban areas.

High profitability is evidenced by the fact that the initial investment can be fully recouped in just six months. Initial costs do not exceed 250 rubles, but if you are smart, you can reduce these costs by 2-3 times.

The project is so unpretentious that quail breeding as a business can be done by 2-3 people. That is, on initial stage this project can be undertaken by family members. And later, when the breeding technology has been mastered, there are regular customers, and the farm has grown to 3-5 thousand birds, you can think about hiring staff.

The flexibility of the project is that you can focus on production quail eggs, or maybe on quail meat. If desired, you can combine it to produce both meat and quail eggs. It depends on demand. If you manage to find regular customers, thanks to whom there will be a high demand for poultry meat, then you will have to focus on this activity. The same must be done if there is regular customers for quail eggs.

This business can be started in a room of 10 m², especially if the cages with birds are correctly arranged in several tiers. Therefore, you can adapt a garage or shed for these needs. It is not recommended to do this in an apartment, although you can find such advice. Firstly, this should not be done for hygiene reasons: the risk of various diseases increases not only among apartment owners, but also among neighbors. Secondly, such use of living space is prohibited by law. It won’t be long until representatives of the housing department and the police arrive to respond to the applications submitted.

If you don’t have your own barn or garage, find and rent the necessary space. This will increase costs and will require hiring personnel who will not only care for the birds, but also perform guard duties.

Low competition in the market also encourages starting a business in this area. This is due to the fact that large corporations bypass the cultivation of quails, focusing their efforts on chicken eggs. A small businesses cannot fully satisfy the demand of the population.

What is needed at the initial stage

First of all, you need to purchase laying quails. You can spend a little money and buy birds that are ready for laying. The average cost on the market is 150 rubles. A batch of 500 heads will cost 75 tr. In addition to the quails themselves, you need to purchase cages for them.

You can make them yourself or order them to be made by craftsmen, or you can immediately buy a ready-made version. For example, for only 19 tr. You can purchase a special cage that has 7 tiers, each of which can contain 50-60 quails. It is enough to purchase 2 such cages to place the first batch of birds in them. In total, the initial costs will be:

• 700 birds - 105 TR;
• 2 cells - 38 TR;
• feed for a year - 25 tr.

In total - 168 tr. This does not include rent, hired personnel, project registration, premises renovation and additional expenses. You can start more economically. To do this, you need to buy eggs, not quails, and purchase an incubator in which you can raise these eggs. As a result, the initial costs will be:

• incubator for 700 eggs - 30 rubles;
• eggs - 1-1.5 t.r.

In addition, if you order the cells from craftsmen or make them yourself, they will cost 6-10 thousand rubles. With bird food, you can also try to reduce costs to 10-15 thousand rubles by purchasing it at markets or in rural areas. This approach will allow you to save 168 - (30 + 1.5 + 10 + 15) = 111.5 thousand rubles at the start.

But there are some peculiarities. For example, in the first case, no time is wasted on raising quails, which is 2 months. You can receive income from the first days. This is, firstly. Secondly, all 500 birds in the first case are layers, and in the second, out of 700 eggs, approximately 450 of them will hatch.

Expected income

Consider an option in which a farm with 700 laying hens focuses on selling eggs. It is expected that they will produce 400-420 eggs per day, which can be sold wholesale for 1-1.5 rubles. Total, daily income is 400-630 rubles, and per month it will be equal to 12-19 thousand rubles. Additional income at 3-5 tr. The sale of quail droppings will also bring.

In general, this is a low income, and the initial costs can be recouped in six months, maximum 8 months. But this is an option in which adult laying hens were purchased, for which they would have to pay over 100 thousand rubles.

What about a project involving hatchery chicks? In this case, from 700 eggs there will be no more than 450 laying hens, the rest will be cockerels. These hens will begin to lay eggs only 2 months after placing the eggs in the incubator, as mentioned above. They will produce no more than 300 eggs per day, as a result of which the monthly income from the sale of eggs will be 9-13.5 thousand rubles. Additionally, you will be able to earn up to 5 thousand rubles. for the sale of the litter.

Quail meat can be sold both by kilograms and by carcasses. To reduce hassle, it is better to sell in carcasses. The wholesale price is 50-70 rubles. per carcass. Since there are still 250 cockerels left on the farm, they can be sold for 12.5-17.5 thousand rubles. In total, it will be possible to earn 26.5-36 thousand rubles from the sale of eggs, meat and litter.

But this is profit for 3 months, and in the first case the profit that would be received for the first month was calculated. For 3 months it will be 45-72 tr. During this period, the owner can make a final decision to expand the project and increase the number of heads, for example, by 5 times, which will make it possible to make a profit of 100 thousand rubles. monthly.

Both the first and second approaches have a right to exist. The main thing in them is sales and proper care of the birds so that their egg production does not fall. The second is ensured by proper care and feeding.

Features of care organization

In caring for birds, a lot depends on the place in which they are kept. For quails, the cages should be made of a metal frame, the welded mesh should be taken from galvanized wire. It should have feeders and nipple drinkers with drip eliminator. In addition, they must be equipped with a special egg collector and a tray into which manure falls: this makes it easier to collect it and clean up after the birds.

Above were mentioned cages of 7 levels for 350 quails. The size of this cage:

• in height - 2 m;
• in length - 1 m;
• in depth - 0.55 m.

That is, for a farm of 700 birds, taking into account aisles, 3-4 m² is enough, provided that cages of this particular design are used. Increasing the number of cells, for example, to 10, will have an insignificant effect on required premises for them. Taking into account the passage, it is enough to provide 10-12 m².

Of course, it is better to take a room 1.5-2 times larger. The smaller it is, the more forced air exchange is required. The room temperature should be maintained at +18°C. Birds need to be bathed once a week to maintain hygiene.

As for food, it is specifically for quails ready-made options industry does not produce. Since corporations are not involved in quail breeding, there are no related products for them. You'll have to make it yourself. 100% of the feed requires the following components:

• corn - 25%;
• wheat - 33%;
• ground shell - 5%;
• barley - 5%;
• fishmeal and sunflower cake - 32%.

The result is a very nutritious composition that gives good growth poultry and egg production.

Important point!

Under narrow specialization project, choose special breeds of quail.

If you are going to organize exclusively the production of quail eggs, you need egg-bearing breeds. But if there is an option for a good sale of meat, then we raise birds of meat breeds. If you mix it up, you get the following picture: meat breeds lay 1.5 times less eggs, but egg-bearing breeds weigh 2 times less than meat breeds, so the wholesale price for such carcasses will be lower. All this will be reflected in the profitability of the enterprise.

But here, too, not everything is so simple, because a lot depends on the buyer. For example, selling meat quails to restaurants turns out badly because of their large sizes. For one serving the carcass is very large, but for 2 servings it is not enough. Therefore, for such customers it is better to raise ordinary egg-laying birds.

As far as litter goes, don't underestimate this product. It is valued by farmers as a very good fertilizer. It can also be used for the needs of the farm itself as an excellent source of biogas. As a result, the farm receives free heating, which reduces operating costs.

Sales of products

Raising quails as a business requires exactly the same well-established sales. They need to be dealt with at the stage of preparation for production. An entrepreneur needs to bypass:

• supermarkets;
• grocery stores;
• market outlets;
• catering establishments;
• sanatoriums, clinics, hospitals.

The purpose of the crawl is to find future wholesale buyers of the products. With those who have expressed a desire, enter into an agreement of intent. To do this, you need to register an individual entrepreneur.

You can also consider the possibility of independently selling eggs at retail through your own retail outlets. But in this case, you need to open them, hire sellers and purchase other products for sale. On some quail eggs a store will not be profitable.

Quail breeding;

Sales of quail breeding products;

Wholesale;

The chosen type of activity is combined with the policy of the agricultural sector of the economy of the Irkutsk region. Accumulation equity in farming it creates the basis for consolidating productive forces in rural areas and updating agricultural production technology.

Location of Perepel LLC: Khomutovo village, Irkutsk region.

Quail LLC will be a poultry farm. Land will be purchased in the village of Khomutovo at an average market price of 100 rubles. (middle dacha plot) The workforce will consist of 2 shift main workers, 1 driver. Accounting services will be provided by the manager himself. The general management of the enterprise will be carried out general director. Wages at the enterprise are time-based. Basic workers receive 7 thousand rubles, subject to working the required number of hours per month. For the manager wage– 8 tr., driver – 5 tr. In 2009, it is planned to double the number of poultry farmers.

The company plans to initially purchase 2,000 heads of quail. The space required for maintenance is only 5 square meters. This number of quails will produce 50,800 eggs monthly. The price of each egg is 2 rubles. Feed costs amount to 1920 kg of feed.

The fixed assets include a poultry farm, a truck, and quail. Included working capital there is food, household equipment, and bedding.

Production technology

Quail common (genus Coturnix coturnix) is a bird of the pheasant family, order Galliniaceae. He is the smallest representative of the gallinaceae order. Its body length is 16 - 20 cm, weight - 80 - 150 g.
The color of the plumage is brownish-brown, with light spots and streaks. In males, the color of the crop and around the eyes is red, in females it is lighter. This is clearly visible in this photo - on the left is a male cockerel, on the right is a female hen.
The common quail is distributed in Europe, Africa and South-West Asia: In Russia it lives in the territory from the Black Sea to Lake Baikal. Is the object of hunting. Lives in fields, meadows, plains and mountains. Birds are very shy and it is very difficult to notice them in nature. They nest in open areas with developed grass cover. As a rule, the nest - a small depression in the ground - is found and equipped by the female herself. She incubates the eggs and protects the chicks for the first days after hatching. In one clutch there are from 8 to 24 speckled, yellow-brown eggs, weighing 10 - 12 g. The chicks hatch in 17 - 18 days and as soon as they dry out, they immediately begin to peck at food. They grow very quickly. After two weeks they acquire feather cover and begin to try to fly from place to place, and by one and a half to two months they become fully grown. independent birds. The common quail is perhaps the only one migrant among chickens. With the onset of cold weather, it flies south.
In addition to the common quail, it is also called the European quail, and the dumb or Japanese quail (Coturnix Japonica) also lives on the territory of Russia. It was domesticated in Japan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is the main bird on quail farms.

Currently, several breeds of Japanese quail have been obtained through selection: marbled, pharaoh, etc., which are bred for the production of eggs and meat, both on a domestic and industrial scale.
The live weight of male domestic quail is about 110 g, females up to 150 g. Japanese domestic quail begin to lay eggs at the age of 50 - 60 days (for comparison, chickens begin to lay eggs no earlier than 180 - 210 days). Each quail can lay up to 300 or more tasty and healthy eggs per year, each weighing 10 - 14 g.

The production of quail eggs is cheaper than chicken eggs, and quail farming is the most profitable poultry farming. A female quail with a live weight of 125 g, an egg production of 250 - 300 eggs, has an egg mass that is 20 - 24 times greater than the bird itself (in chickens it is 8 times). In addition, quails serve as “suppliers” of high-quality meat, which is considered a dietary product. It’s not for nothing that in Rus' quail dishes were considered royal food.

In order to breed domestic quail breeds in many countries since the mid-20th century. Specialized quail-breeding farms (farms) have been created, the profitability of which is quite high. Even specialized breeds of Japanese quail of different directions have been bred - egg-laying and broiler (meat) breeds. Broiler quail quickly reach a weight of up to 200 - 250 g, while the weight of egg-laying birds rarely exceeds 150 - 180 g.
Quail eggs are superior to chicken eggs in many nutrients. Five quail eggs, equal in weight to one chicken, contain 5 times more potassium, 4.5 times more iron, 2.5 times more vitamins B1 and B2. Quail eggs contain significantly more vitamin A, nicotinic acid, phosphorus, copper, cobalt, limiting and other amino acids. Quails have more protein in their eggs than other breeding birds. For example, chicken eggs contain 55.8% protein, quails - 60%.

In most breeding birds, the egg shell makes up more than 10% of the mass of the entire egg, in quails it is only 7.2%. The shell of quail eggs is pigmented, very fragile, but has a strong and elastic undershell film. The color of the shell of quail eggs varies from very dark, yellow-brown to pure white. The density of quail eggs is less than the density of chicken eggs, which is obviously due to the lower relative mass of the shell.
Quail eggs are a concentrated biological set of substances necessary for humans; these are real ampoules of health. There is information in the literature that in ancient times, quail eggs and meat were used in Eastern folk medicine. This was one of the reasons for the domestication and selection of quails in Japan. Even during the time of the pharaohs in Egypt, quail meat was credited with medicinal properties. In Japan, raw quail eggs mixed with orange juice are still used to treat asthma.
Quail eggs are a valuable food product that can be recommended in the diet of children and adults for a number of diseases. They do not cause allergic reactions even in those people for whom chicken eggs are contraindicated.
In Central Asia, it is believed that the quail brings wealth and prosperity to the house where it is kept in a cage. In addition, quails are valued for their beautiful songs. In the old days, in the Kursk province they even kept domestic song quails, and for their songs they were valued no less than Kursk nightingales.

Keeping quails at home is no more difficult than any other poultry. With a small number, they can be kept even in a city apartment, in cages for parrots or canaries. Maintaining and caring for them is quite simple. The only condition for normal egg production of quails is compliance with housing conditions (temperature and light conditions), as well as the use of specially balanced, high-protein feed. Otherwise they are quite unpretentious birds.
If you want to start breeding quails at home yourself, the first thing you need to know is that domesticated female quails have lost their brooding instinct, so artificial incubation of eggs is used to hatch young animals, so you will need an incubator.
For incubation of quail eggs, any small-sized household incubators of the following systems are used: “Universal”, “Nasedka”, IPH, ILU-F-03 and others. Such incubators can be purchased at any market or specialty store.
The capacity of these incubators varies, and is usually indicated based on the number of chicken eggs. Such incubators can accommodate 4 - 6 or more times more quail eggs than chicken eggs. So, for example, 370 - 395 Japanese quail eggs are placed in the tray of the Universal-45 incubator. For many amateur poultry farmers, using homemade industrial incubators for incubating quail eggs may not be practical, since such incubators are too large for their needs. Therefore, for those who raise young quails in small quantities, homemade incubators with a smaller capacity will be more suitable.

The incubation period for quail eggs is 17 days (for chickens - 21). The hatching of quails occurs actively and ends in 4 - 6 hours, although individual quails from the same batch can hatch 1 - 2 days after the main hatch.

Newly hatched common quail chicks are covered with brown down with two light stripes along the back. They are very mobile, although their mass at this time is only 6-8 g.
Healthy quail are raised in plywood or cardboard boxes. The sizes of the boxes depend on the number of quails. If the number of quails you have is small and the entire hatch is 20 - 30 quails, then for these purposes you can use any suitable plywood box, for example a standard parcel box. But if you are going to seriously engage in quail breeding, and therefore - independently and constantly breed your chicks, then it is better for you to make a universal brooder box

The boxes must be clean, the bottom must be covered with clean paper, which must be changed as it gets dirty. I immediately plant the quail from the incubator in a box, at the bottom of which there is a mesh with a cell of 5 x 10 mm. This prevents the appearance and development of the so-called “twine” in quails, when the quail’s legs begin to move apart in different directions (the mesh on the bottom allows this to happen, acting as a support for the legs).

Maintaining temperature conditions is very important. Quails are very sensitive to low temperatures and the slightest cooling leads to increased mortality of young animals.

Quail chicks are able to feed independently from the first hours after hatching. In general, the entire life of these birds, from the very first day, is aimed at absorbing and searching for food. Due to their very rapid growth and development, they require feed high in protein, vitamins and minerals. In the first days of life, they can be fed with finely chopped boiled eggs, cottage cheese sprinkled with breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, as well as bird feed for young animals aged 1 to 10 days.

Quails grow very quickly. In two months, they increase their mass by more than 20 times and almost reach the size of an adult bird. For comparison, over the same period, chickens increase their weight by only 14 times, but they still have to grow and grow to become an adult bird.

When keeping Japanese quails for the purpose of obtaining food eggs, cages up to 20 cm high are usually used. The bottom area depends on the number of quails placed in the cage and is selected at the rate of 180 - 200 square meters. cm per head. If you need dietary food eggs (i.e., unfertilized), then you can keep only chickens in the cage. They will rush in the same way as with a cockerel.
To make efficient use of space, several of these cells are usually placed on top of each other (like a rack).

Like all chicken quails, these quails willingly bathe in dry sand, which must be taken into account when keeping them and periodically placing a bath in the cage with a layer of sand 5-7 cm thick for this purpose.

The room in which quail cages are installed must be warm, dry, with good ventilation to provide fresh air.

The supply of fresh air should not be accompanied by a draft. One of the first signals about the presence of drafts is the loss of feathers in birds.
In rooms where adult quails are kept, the relative air humidity should be in the range of 55 - 75%. 60 - 70% is considered optimal.
The temperature is maintained at 20 - 22°C, fluctuating from 16 - 25°C is acceptable.
Japanese quails are fed all types of grain feeds with small or crushed grains, egg feed and greens. They eat well feed with a high protein content, which has a positive effect on their productivity. Food is added to the feeders regularly as it is eaten.
Quails are fed 2-3 times a day. Feeders and drinkers are in the form of ordinary gutters, which are strengthened on the outside of the cages. For dry feed mixture, it is advisable to use automatic feeders. The dry mixture is poured into a bunker, which is mounted above the cells, for a day, or even for several days. As food is eaten, it pours from the bunker through tubes into feeders.

For watering, you can also use automatic drinkers; their preparation is quite simple - based on the principle of communicating vessels. Water can be poured into them for several days, but at least once a week, the drinking bowls should be thoroughly rinsed before refilling with water.
For succulent feed, you should have an additional feeder, also reinforced on the outside.

Market analysis

The poultry industry has become the only one in the agro-industrial complex that has been able to double production volumes since 1998. In the overall balance of animal protein production, the protein part of poultry products accounts for more than 40%. In 2005, the largest increase in poultry production was achieved; 1 billion eggs or 3% and 184 thousand tons of meat or 15.6%. On average in Russia, the profitability of egg enterprises is 11%, and that of meat enterprises is 20-22%.

The market for eggs and egg products in Russia is formed by domestic production, with the exception of minor supplies from Belarus and Ukraine (0.7%). In general, per capita consumption of eggs amounted to 242 pcs.

In the European part Russian Federation and in the Urals 81.9% of edible eggs were produced, in the region of Siberia and the Far East - 18.1% (Diagram 1). At the same time, 55.7% of gross production is concentrated in 16 constituent entities of the Federation, with an annual production of at least 600 million eggs. In the region of Siberia and the Far East there are 4 such entities, which account for 59% of the total egg production in our region. This Novosibirsk region(4th place in Russia), Irkutsk region (13th place), Krasnoyarsk Territory (14th place), Kemerovo region (19th place).

This is due to the presence of large industrial farms in them, producing over 100 million eggs per year and having a productivity of over 300 eggs per average laying hen. These include the Belorechensk association of the Irkutsk region, which last year received 519 million eggs with an egg production of 335 pieces, the poultry farm named after the 50th anniversary of the USSR of the Novosibirsk region 275 million eggs and 325 per hen, Lebedevskaya Agrofirm of the same region - 158 million and 315 eggs per hen, Shushenskaya poultry farm in the Krasnoyarsk Territory - 117 million and 305 eggs, Yashkinskaya poultry farm in the Kemerovo Region - 102 million and 334 eggs.

The large-scale introduction of new egg crosses made it possible to produce 301 eggs per laying hen throughout the country in 2005. According to this indicator, Russia is among the top five leading countries in the world. The average egg production per laying hen of egg crosses in the Siberian Federal District was 305 eggs, in the Far East - 272 eggs.

The leaders in obtaining eggs for an average laying hen are in the Siberian Federal District the Irkutsk region - 321 eggs, Novosibirsk - 316, Kemerovo - 314, Tomsk - 311, in the Far Eastern District the Sakhalin region received 318 eggs and the Amur region - 301 eggs. Meat production around the world is constantly growing. Over the past 5 years alone, it has grown by 22 million tons or 9.4%. Currently, the world produces 265 million tons of meat, which is 40.5 kg per person per year.

The most developed countries (USA, UK, Germany, Italy and others) consume from 80 to 125 kg per person. Currently, each resident of Russia consumes on average 50 kg of meat, taking into account its imports. This is the level of 1965-1975. last century.

Poultry meat production is increasing worldwide, while beef production is decreasing (high cost, cooking time, safety issues). Poultry meat has high taste, duck and goose meat is high in calories. It should be noted that poultry meat is allowed to be eaten by all religions of the world.

Birds have a high growth rate. Five days after hatching, chicks, turkey poults and ducklings double their weight, while in calves this is observed after 50 days, in piglets - after 14 days, in lambs - after 15 days). The conversion of feed protein into product protein in broilers is 1.9, while in pigs - 4.1, bulls - 8. Therefore, in poultry farming there is quick payback investment investments.

A calf reaches slaughter weight in 654 days (from fertilization to slaughter) and can produce 250 kg of meat. Approximately the same amount of meat can be obtained from one laying hen in 365 days of operation. The yield of broiler chickens from one laying hen of modern meat crosses is 130 birds. Broilers are fattened to slaughter weight (2 kg) in 38-40 days. Over the course of a year, the meat yield is 260 kg. To obtain 1 kg of increase in live weight of young cattle, 7-8 units are spent, for broilers - 1.6-1.8 units.

Over the past three years, the volume of poultry meat production in the Russian Federation has been steadily increasing by 13-18%. In 2004, for the first time, poultry meat production took first place in the gross product. In 2005, the meat market with a capacity of 7.5 million tons was formed by 35% of poultry meat, 29% of pork, 33% of beef, 3% of meat from other types of livestock (Diagram 3). There were 52 kg of meat of all types per capita, including 34.3 kg of Russian production. Of these, 17 kg of beef (12.5 kg domestic), pork - 15 kg (11 kg domestic), and poultry meat - 18.9 kg (9.3 kg domestic).

In 2005, in the Russian Federation, industrial farms produced 1,551.5 thousand tons of live weight poultry meat with an average daily gain of 43 g, a fattening period of 42 days, and a consumption of feed units of 1.95 kg. Production cost 1 kg of broiler meat at slaughter weight is 42-43 rubles. The region of Siberia and the Far East produced 190.6 thousand tons of poultry meat, which is 12.3% of the country's gross production (Diagram 5). Of this 12.3%, the Siberian Federal District accounts for 10.2%, the Far Eastern - 2.1%. The remaining federal districts produced 1,360.9 thousand tons of poultry meat, or 87.7%.

At the same time, in 12 subjects of the Federation, with annual production of at least 35 thousand tons of poultry meat, 53.5% of gross production was obtained. In the region of Siberia and the Far East there is one such entity - the Krasnoyarsk Territory, which accounts for 23% of the total poultry meat production in our region. According to this indicator, the region ranks 10th in the country (Table 2).

This was achieved thanks to Siberian Province LLC, which produces 40.8 thousand tons of broiler meat per year with an average daily gain of 46.3 g. One parent couple received 256 kg of meat, at a cost of 1 kg of 30.5 rubles.

Other large producers of poultry meat in the Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts are the Irkutsk region, which accounts for 15% of gross production, Novosibirsk - 14.7%, Omsk 11.9%. The main producer of poultry meat in the Omsk region is the Siberian poultry farm (average daily gain 46 g), in the Novosibirsk region - Novosibirsk poultry farm (average daily gain 45 g), Oktyabrskaya (45 g), Kochenevskaya (44 g), in the Irkutsk region - Angarsk poultry farm (50 d), Sayan Broiler LLC (50 g).

Domestic poultry farmers not only maintained production, but also Lately managed to seriously increase it. Many experts believe that the emergence of hysteria around avian influenza, which allegedly affected the domestic poultry industry, is no coincidence. Even the World Health Organization, after analyzing the facts, came to the conclusion that no tragedy is occurring in the poultry market in Russia. Domestic regulatory authorities, in turn, guarantee strict monitoring of the quality of products hitting the shelves of stores and markets.

Russian poultry farmers, who have just recovered from the crisis and have begun to confidently conquer domestic market, are not interested in losing it. Let us recall that the domestic meat market is about 8 million tons and is estimated at $15-17 billion. Domestic production of poultry meat is 51%, imports - 49%. And the largest share of poultry meat imports traditionally belonged to the USA (74%) and the EU (18%).

It is quite possible that the whole point is not some kind of virus, but the economic situation. After all, the rapid development of poultry farming in Siberia and Russia in the last two or three years has practically displaced “Bush legs” from our shelves, unlike cattle or pork, which we are still forced to import in significant quantities. In addition, if we import beef and pork, for example, to a large extent from China, then the chicken market affects the interests of the United States. Another epidemic is spreading - an epidemic of panic fear. Psychological factors, as we know, have been and remain the decisive element of any commercial activities. Advertising (and I will add - anti-advertising) is the basis of commercial success...

What could be the consequences? For example, people will first stop buying products from domestic poultry farms and switch back to “Bush legs”. This will naturally lead to multi-billion dollar profits for importers and corresponding losses for local poultry farmers. Another option is for people to stop buying poultry altogether and switch to beef. Considering that we buy a good half of our beef in China, we can immediately predict an outbreak of some kind of epizootic there - say, mad cow disease or anthrax. If our Russian cattle breeders accomplish the feat, then this epizootic, without a doubt, will immediately spread to us.

We want to cripple the domestic poultry industry, which has been growing for three years. After all, none of those who scare people with an unknown infection are eager to explain that chickens are raised in closed poultry houses and they have no contact with migratory birds.

It should be noted that the industry has significant reserves for further development. In general, in the Russian Federation the number of poultry on industrial farms barely exceeds half of the number in 1990. In the Siberian Federal District it is 48.4%, in the Far East only a third. At the same time, meat production in the Siberian Federal District is 71.4% of production in 1990, in the Far East - 41.9%; egg production is 76.6 and 40.3%, respectively. On the one hand, this suggests that positive trends are due to intensification. The use of new highly productive crosses in combination with modern technology maintenance and balanced feeding allows achieving better results with a smaller population. On the other hand, as the diagram shows, there are all the prerequisites for increasing the production of eggs and poultry meat.

The poultry development program provides for an increase in broiler meat production in 2006 by 13%. In the European part of Russia, 11 kg of poultry meat per person is produced. In the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts, only 9.5 kg of meat per capita is produced. The main strategic goal for our region in the coming years should be to provide the population with poultry meat. But it is necessary to take into account many factors.

In the structure of poultry meat production, the main share (87%) is broiler meat, 11% is laying hen meat, 11% is turkey, 1% is duck. Last year, only 2 thousand tons of goose meat were produced, which is practically equal to 0. Therefore, it is possible to really increase the gross production of poultry meat only through meat crosses of chickens.

In the USSR there was a fairly organized and streamlined system of breeding work in poultry farming, which included selection and genetic stations, breeding farms, first- and second-order reproducers and commercial farms. During the period of reforms, under the influence of a number of external and internal factors, the Russian agricultural sector found itself in a deep crisis. As a result, the most powerful poultry farming management system, which, to a certain extent, ensures the strategic security of the country, was destroyed. In the early 90s, with a general decline in poultry meat production, it was not economically profitable for poultry farms to maintain parent flocks. It was easier to simply raise broilers by purchasing hatching eggs from breeding farms. Tribal centers were forced to take on the role of reproducers. In the Russian Federation, the number of reproductive farms has significantly decreased, and in individual regions they are missing. In the Siberian region, all reproductive farms working with meat chickens have ceased to exist; Irkutsk region - Priangarsky Research Institute, Krasnoyarsk Territory - Buzimsky PPZ, Altai region-Chemrovsky PPZ, Tomsk region - Novoarkhangelovsky PPZ, Novosibirsk region Baryshevsky PPZ, Omsk region - PPZ "Luch".

The growth in poultry production in the last three years has caused a tense situation with the provision of commercial poultry farms with breeding products. In a number of farms, for this reason, there is a shortage of hatching eggs. Poultry farming enterprises in some territories do not have the necessary number of parent flocks of meat chickens for the production of hybrid eggs. This niche is now being filled by imported material. Today, poultry of five imported crosses is used to produce broiler meat, and only one of them has a reproducer. The scary thing is not that they are transporting the grandparents and parents, the scary thing is that they are transporting the final hybrid. In 2005, 10 million day-old chicks and 229 million hatching eggs of the final hybrid of imported meat crosses were imported.

Lecture 14. Technology of production of eggs and quail meat.

1. Raising young animals

3. Fattening quails for meat

Raising young animals

The peculiarity of quails is high egg productivity and early maturity. Females begin to lay eggs at the age of 35-40 days and can lay up to 300 eggs per year, spending an average of about 2.8 kg of food per 1 kg of egg mass. The weight of eggs laid per year by one female is 24 times greater than the body weight of the female itself (in chickens it is 9 times).

Healthy, active, well-developed quails are selected for rearing. They are transported from the hatchery in cardboard boxes, divided into 4 compartments of 100 birds each. in everyone.

It should be taken into account that quails are very small (only 6-8 g at hatching), and therefore the holes in the boxes must be made so that the chicks do not jump out.

Quails are raised in cages. Young animals are very sensitive to temperature, so special heaters are installed in the cages.

Before receiving day-old young animals, equipment and premises are thoroughly cleaned, washed, disinfected and aerated. In 2-3 days the required temperature is created in the poultry houses.

Ventilation calculations are carried out based on fresh air supply standards, which are at least 1.5 m3/h in the cold season and 5 m3/h per 1 kg of poultry live weight in the warm season. It is necessary to ensure that there are no drafts in the room, as quails do not tolerate them well. We recommend indoor air temperature of 20-22 °C. At lower temperatures, females' egg production drops sharply.

Air humidity should be at least 50% (60-65% is considered optimal). At lower humidity (less than 50%), water consumption increases and feed palatability deteriorates.

The duration of daylight hours for quails should be 17-18 hours per day. At 14-15 hours daylight hours feed consumption is reduced, but egg production is reduced. 24-hour lighting helps to increase egg production, but the females quickly wear out and stop laying eggs. Lighting intensity should be maintained at 20-30 lux. In brighter lighting, quails behave restlessly, fights and pecking often occur, which leads to culling and death of the bird.

Adult birds are kept in battery cages of various designs. Depending on the purpose of keeping females, the size and structure of the cells are different. When receiving food eggs, females are kept without males in group cages. In the latter, the parent stock (females and males) is also raised. During in-depth breeding work, females are placed in individual cages. In this case, females are placed next to males for 15 minutes once every 3 days.

The egg-laying period for quails of the egg production direction begins at 5-6 weeks of age, and for meat quails at 6-7 weeks of age. With proper maintenance and feeding, the egg production of quails by 9 weeks of age reaches 90%.

Within 8 months, egg production is 75-85%, after which it begins to decline. In a year you can get 280-300 eggs from one hen.

At the beginning of the productive period, quail eggs weigh 5-6 g, but by the age of 2 months the egg weight reaches the standard - 10-13 g.

When males and females are kept together, the sex ratio in the herd is maintained at 1:4 or 1:5. An increase in the load on the male leads to a deterioration in the incubation qualities of the eggs. The fertilization of quail eggs should be 70-85%, hatchability - 80-95, hatchability of young animals - 60-75%.

At 5-6 months of age, egg fertilization may decrease. In this case, males are replaced with younger ones. After replacing males, the egg production of females decreases somewhat, but after 7-10 days it is completely restored. An adult flock is kept until egg production drops to 50%.

Stocking density has a great influence on quail egg production and incubation performance. It has been established that the optimal stocking density for industrial poultry is 115-120 birds/m2 of cage floor area. The parent stock should be placed with a lower stocking density - up to 80 birds/m2 of floor.

Quails are fed 2 times a day with dry feed at the rate of 22-25 g/bird. Quails older than 4 weeks of age are given fine gravel once a week, and at the beginning of the laying period - a mixture of gravel and shells.

There must be clean water in the drinking bowls at all times. The drinking front for adult quails is 0.6 cm, and the feeding front is 1-1.2 cm/bird.

Quails mainly lay eggs at night and early in the morning, so eggs are collected once in the first half of the day.

Fattening quails for meat

One-day old quails have a live weight of only 6-8 g, but grow very quickly. In 2 months they increase their mass by more than 20 times. Quails exhibit fairly strong sexual dimorphism in terms of live weight: females are approximately 15% heavier than males.

Young males not used for breeding purposes, adult livestock after a period of breeding use, and young animals specially intended for raising for meat are used for fattening.

The duration of fattening is 3-4 weeks. Males and females are kept separately during fattening.

The technology for keeping fattening quails and the equipment used are approximately the same as for raising replacement young stock.

Adult quails are transferred to fattening at the age of 9-10 months, when the egg production of females drops (below 50%).

Quails are fed ad libitum 2 times a day. When feeding quails of any age, you should not suddenly change the composition of the diet. Therefore, they are gradually transferred to a diet intended for fattening over 3-4 days. Feed costs per head. per day is approximately 25 g.

Before slaughter, quails are kept without food for at least 4-6 hours. During this time, water is given in unlimited quantities.

Well-fed quails have a noticeable layer of subcutaneous fat on the chest; the average weight of 8-week-old egg quails is 110-120 g, meat quails 160-200 g. The weight of one bird handed over for slaughter should not be less than 100 g.

Field of technology to which the invention relates

The invention relates to the food and poultry processing industry, in particular to enterprises (workshops) for processing poultry eggs.

State of the art

There is a known method of canning eggs (author's certificate No. 730335, published on April 30, 1980), which includes applying a protective film by successively immersing and keeping eggs in an aqueous solution containing 2.5-5 wt. % hydrogen peroxide, for 5-7 minutes and in an aqueous suspension containing 7-10 wt. % calcium hydroperoxide. The temperature of the aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide and the suspension of calcium hydroxide is 20-25°C.

The disadvantage is low biological value.

Quail eggs are known, marinated using a solution of salt, sugar, acetic acid, mustard and seasonings ( Specifications 9846-202-2347684-98).

The disadvantage is the limited nutritional value of the resulting product.

The closest in technical essence and achieved positive effect is the method of canning quail eggs in soy sauce (RF patent for invention No. 2236143, published 09/20/2004). The method of canning quail eggs includes boiling the eggs, separating the shell and washing. Then the eggs are poured with soy sauce, sterilized within 2-3 minutes from the moment of boiling, packed hot in jars and kept for at least 5 days before sale.

Disadvantage this method is relatively high cost, since soy sauce is obtained through a complex and lengthy process of natural fermentation. In addition, this product has insufficient digestibility and low nutritional value.

Disclosure of the Invention

The basis of the claimed invention is the task of improving the taste and nutritional qualities of a canned product and reducing the duration of the canning process.

The technical result of the invention is to improve digestibility, increase the nutritional and biological value of the product and increase its shelf life, through the use of discharge-pulse brine processing technology and the introduction of a natural antioxidant in the form of rosemary extract.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the method of canning quail eggs includes boiling the eggs, separating the shell, filling with brine, hot packing in jars and holding before sale, according to the invention, after boiling the eggs are cooled in ice water, holding before selling is carried out for at least 3 -x days; Moreover, the brine contains: sugar, table salt, vinegar essence, ground pepper, garlic, mushrooms and vegetables, as well as a natural antioxidant in the form of rosemary extract, and the brine is subjected to discharge-pulse treatment before pouring.

Carrying out the invention

This method of canning quail eggs includes the following steps. Eggs prepared in accordance with the requirements of SanPiN are boiled over low heat in salted water for 5-6 minutes from the moment of boiling, cooled with ice water, and the shell is separated along with the subshell membrane. The shells are separated manually, since dissolving them, for example, in vinegar, has a detrimental effect on the taste characteristics of the product.

The preparation of the brine is carried out in a vat, where seasonings are successively added: sugar, table salt, vinegar essence, ground pepper (black, allspice), garlic; spices: rosemary extract, cloves, cinnamon. The distinctive ingredient in the brine is rosemary extract, known as a natural antioxidant. Rosemary owes its antioxidant activity to phenolic diterpenes, carnosols and carnosoic acid. The last two substances provide 90% of rosemary's antioxidant properties. Rosemary is traditionally used in Food Industry, thanks to its ability to protect the color and taste of products. Since it has good solubility, it is recommended to be used as an antioxidant in liquid media. Rosemary, compared to many synthetic antioxidants, has no side effects, and its effectiveness is 2-4 times higher. Adding rosemary extract to this brine allows you to increase the shelf life of the product.

Subsequently, the brine is subjected to discharge-pulse processing. The principle of operation of this technology is based on the local creation of high-pressure zones in an acoustic field of a wide range of frequencies during an electrical discharge in a liquid medium, with simultaneous bactericidal treatment of the surface of the processed raw material with ultraviolet radiation. The use of discharge-pulse brine processing technology makes it possible to reduce the duration of the canning process, provides bactericidal treatment of the product, which helps to increase the sales period of the finished product.

Mushrooms and vegetables are added as additional components when canning quail eggs: bell peppers, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes, onions.

Prepared eggs and vegetables are poured with boiling brine, packed hot in jars, hermetically sealed and kept for at least 3 days before sale.

Thus, the claimed method of preserving quail eggs makes it possible to increase the nutritional and biological value of the product, improve digestibility, and also increase the time for sale of finished products.

The organization of waste-free technology in the production of poultry products is the most important direction in solving the problems of food, economic and environmental security of the country.

To ensure food security and import substitution, based on the results of work in 2014, OJSC Uglich Poultry Farm in the Yaroslavl Region produced about 250 million quail eggs. The distribution of these products was carried out as follows: sold through trading network 94.7%, used for incubation 2.9% and for the production of mayonnaise and melange 2.4 percent. The assortment of quail eggs of the Uchida Trading House is presented in the table.

Products based on quail eggs

A wide range of commercial products made from quail eggs allows us to satisfy the needs of all categories of the population, as well as ensure high economic performance of the producer.

Quail eggs, according to numerous literary sources, have high nutritional and dietary properties that are important for human life.

To increase consumer demand for quail eggs, Uglich Poultry Farm great attention focuses on improving their taste and nutritional properties. For these purposes, only high-quality feed is used, balanced in terms of a complex of nutrients using various feed additives. New generation products include Natresorb, Yoddar, Ecosorb, Extra, Fimax, etc. Microelement complex of organic origin OMEK-Ca OMEK-Fe; OMEK-Mn; OMEK-Zn; OMEK-Co (there are no analogues in the country or in the world) is produced by the high-tech premix plant Vit-OMEK LLC in Likhoslavl, Tver Region. It allows you to significantly reduce the rate of introduction of these elements into feed, which helps reduce the cost of the premix and diet.

The economic effect of using these feed products per 1 million quail eggs averaged 24 thousand rubles. In 2014, the factory generated additional income of 4.5 million rubles.

The organization of waste-free technology for the production of quail eggs is the call of the times. One of the reserves in this area can be considered the deep processing of shells, which are used in the country for various purposes. Thus, traditionally at many poultry farms it is added to poultry diets to balance mineral nutrition. Mineral fertilizing is also used in agriculture, mainly in personal plots. In medicine, it acts as a source of natural calcium for patients suffering from a deficiency of this mineral.

The shell characterizes the indicator of calcium metabolism in laying quails. Its thickness is not constant. It correlates with the size of the eggs and the live weight of the bird, the timing of egg laying, and depends on the season of the year, the quality of feeding and many physiological factors of the bird.

The mineral base of eggshells - calcium carbonate (calcium carbonate) - makes up 90% of the mass of quail eggshells. In addition, eggshells contain about 27 useful microelements - iron, phosphorus, copper, fluorine, manganese, sulfur, zinc, silicon, molybdenum, etc. Silicon and molybdenum are found in extremely small quantities in many food products, so egg shells can compensate for the deficiency quail shell. The composition of quail eggshells is similar to the composition of human bones and teeth, and moreover, it stimulates the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow.

The shells of quail eggs at the Uglich Poultry Farm enter the processing workshop after preliminary ozonation: from the incubation workshop and the workshop for the production of mayonnaise, melange (dry and liquid), boiled-salted and boiled-marinated quail eggs.

Their acceptance and transfer, determination of quantity, quality and weight is carried out in accordance with the requirements of regulatory and technical documentation for quail eggs for food. They are stored at a temperature of 0 to 20 ° C in a clean room, protected from sunlight, insects, and with sufficient ventilation to prevent the appearance of mold and fungi.

The entire batch intended for processing is inspected, eggs with damaged shells and contaminated eggs are removed. Treatment of the shell surface is carried out using special machines in containers and baths with detergents and disinfectants approved by sanitary authorities, under the supervision of veterinary specialists of the poultry farm.

After processing, the shells can be crushed or dried with air conditioners before packaging, at the customer’s request. Then it is packaged in plastic bags. According to the applications of the Uchida Trading House, the shells are supplied for sale in dried, finely crushed or frozen crushed form. In 2014, TD sold 200 kg of shells.

If necessary, shells can also be collected from boiled eggs; for this, an appropriate set of equipment is used.

Mandatory requirements for specialists at a factory for processing quail egg shells:

Persons who have professional training and have passed examinations established by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation are allowed to work;

Workers comply labor discipline and rules of personal hygiene, as well as requirements for servicing machines, mechanisms, electrical equipment and etc.

Quail egg shells, crushed to the consistency of powder, are easily absorbed by the body and have no side effects. In the form of powder or powder, it is recommended to add it to cottage cheese, porridge, and salads. Under the influence of gastric juice, the calcium contained in it transforms into an easily digestible form. Consumption dose is 0.5-1.0 tablespoon per day. There is no need to be afraid of oversaturation of the body with calcium; its excess is easily excreted from the body.

It may be noted that quail egg shells purify water from chlorine and heavy metals and restore the acid-base balance. Powder from the shell can relieve chronic stomach pain in ten days and speed up the healing of the skin at the sites of burns and ulcers.

The shell is useful for children, especially during periods of intensive growth, when the need for calcium increases significantly for the formation of bone tissue. It has a beneficial effect on osteoporosis (softening of bones), rickets, and anemia.

Infusions made from quail egg shells have high therapeutic activity. The more the powder is crushed, the faster the infusion occurs. In an acidic environment, calcium ions and other trace elements are washed out of the shell more quickly.

Calcium is involved in blood clotting processes, so an infusion of quail egg shells helps with bleeding. For adults, shell therapy is recommended for irritability, insomnia, brittle nails and hair, and bleeding gums. Twice a year it is recommended for the prevention of spinal diseases, dental caries and osteoporosis. This prevention is especially effective during the winter months. The use of quail egg shell powder is recommended for pregnant women to enrich the body with calcium ions and other microelements. It is safe if the necessary sanitization is followed.

Currently, Uglich Poultry Farm OJSC is the main supplier of quail egg shells for medical company"Doctor Kornilov." This is facilitated by the large scale of production - the factory is the largest in the world and produces shells in large volumes. In particular, it is used to make the medicinal drug Perepelin-Calcium, which is used to prevent osteoporosis. Shells are supplied to Altai through Trading house"Uchida."

"Doctor Kornilov" - the manufacturer of this drug - is part of the Altai biopharmaceutical cluster, it is a member non-profit partnership"Association of Biologically Producers active additives to food."

Quail-Calcium has a fairly high bioavailability, since it is closest to calcium compounds in the human body. Natural biological calcium, obtained from quail egg shells, helps maintain the structure of bone tissue, promotes its restoration and formation, and strengthens the walls of blood vessels.

By taking quail shell powder, you can restore your health, increase your immunity and improve your general condition without harming your body.

So, the use of quail egg shells for industrial, food and medical purposes has important. This waste-free and environmentally friendly technology has not yet exhausted all its reserves. The plans of the poultry farm provide for further development of in-depth use of shells, which will help improve the efficiency of the poultry farm.
