朝鲜龙城系鹌鹑适宜配种年龄的研究

本试验用三组交配试验测定了朝鲜龙城系鹌鹑的适宜初配年龄。结果表明成年公鹑与青年母鹑交配，青年母鹑在５７～６３日龄时，受精率达８８．８９％，受精蛋孵化率为９１．６７％，健雏率达９８．７０％。成年母鹑与青年公鹑交配，青年公鹑在５７～６３日龄时，受精率可达８８．２０％，受精蛋孵化率达９３．６９％．健雏率达９２．３１％。青年公鹑与青年母鹑交配，在６４～７０日龄时，受精率为８７．０３％，受精蛋孵化率为８９．８５％，健雏率为９７．３８％。提示朝鲜龙城系鹌鹑６４日龄就可作种用。

A STUDY ON PROPER MATING AGE OF KREAL QUAIL

The proper mating age of kreal quail was studied through 3 groups of mating test. The results showed that when adult male quails mated with young female quails at the age of 57-63 days in female quails the fertility rate was 88.89%,the hatchability of fetilized eggs was 91.67%, the healthy chick rate was 98.70%. When adult female quails mated with young male quails at the age of 57-63 days in ace quails,the fertility rate was 88.20%,the hatchability of fertilized eggs was 93.60%,the healthy chick rate was 93. 69%. When young male quails mated with young female quails,at the age of 64-70 days, the fertility rate was 87. 03%, the hatchability of fertilized eggs was 88. 85 %,the healthy chick rate was 97.36%. This observation suggested that at the age of 64 days of age, the kreal quails could be used to mating.
