Abstract

EN: In recent years, quail breeding has become widespread in the households of the population of Ukraine. Indeed, in addition to tasty, dietary and environmentally friendly high-quality eggs and meat, which have numerous useful properties, keeping birds of this species is quite profitable and quickly paying off. Quail breeding does not need large areas, the birds are unpretentious in maintenance, resistant to infectious diseases, multiply rapidly and are in demand among consumers. The average weight of one quail egg is 10-13 g, which is almost five times less than the mass of an average chicken egg. Despite its tiny weight, the product contains 27 trace elements. A true find for diet food. There are especially many vitamins of groups A and B in a quail egg, as well as potassium, phosphorus and iron – two to four times more than in a chicken product. Eggshell is also the richest source of calcium and is used to prevent bone fragility, rickets and hypocalcemia.
