Abstract: This survey was conducted from March to May 1978 to determine the management practices employed by the Cavite quail raisers. The method used in gathering data was through an interview based on a prepared questionnaire. A total of 1,640 layers, including male, which were distributed to sizes of 50, 60, 230, 500 and 800 birds were surveyed in Indang, and Mendez, Cavite. Two of the raisers housed their birds in cages measuring 243.84 cm. long, 121. 92 cm. wide and 30.48 cm. high per 300 birds while the others used larger cages measuring 4.5 ft. x 8.5 ft. x 1 ft. for every 250 to 300 birds. Day-old quails were housed in the brooder layer cage. This was provided with a 50 watts electric bulb as a source of heat. One male is provided for every four to five layers. Inbreeding among the flocks of one of the raisers was observed since the raiser didn't purchase additional stock. Of the total farmers interviewed, broiler starter mash and laying mash were given to their birds. Light was provided at night to help quails eat. The computed daily feed expenses for raising 50, 60, 230, 500 and 800 quails amounted to P1.70, P2.20, P7.30, P17.00 and P27.00 respectively. Vaccination was not applied by the raisers but they practiced deworming, which was done a year. Seventy percent to seventy-five percent daily egg production was achieved from the group of 50, 60, 800, 230, and 500 birds respectively. This gave a daily egg output of 37, 45, 600, 161, and 350 and was sold at P0.10 each; thus giving a daily net profit of P2.00, P230.00, P32.80, P8.80 and P18.00 respectively. If this profit is multiplied twice or thrice by a number of layers, it would be a very nice additional income for quail raisers. Introduction of high egg yielding quails which are resistant to fowl diseases and preparation of different menus utilizing quail eggs were recommended to solve the raisers' problems.
