Abstract

Poultry farming in most countries of the world occupies a leading position among other branches of agricultural production. In recent years, quail breeding has become particularly relevant in Russia and European countries. Intensive growth and development, a short reproduction period, as well as meat and egg productivity, early maturity, high egg production, all this together allows them to be successfully used to obtain high quality products. At the same time, this gives grounds for the competition of quails with chickens for meat and egg productivity. Quail products are recognized as environmentally friendly, easily digestible, a rich source of valuable macro and microelements, as well as a variety of vitamins. In addition, quail eggs are a hypoallergenic product that has tonic properties and contains a large amount of protein. In terms of nutritional properties, quail eggs are healthier than chicken eggs, since they do not contain cholesterol. When growing poultry, no additional costs are required for the prevention of infectious diseases, as well as drugs that accelerate the growth of individuals. Creating optimal microclimate parameters in poultry houses is one of the important conditions for realizing poultry productivity, as well as minimizing the unit costs of material and technical resources. Violation of zoohygienic requirements for keeping quails has a significant impact not only on the productivity of poultry, but also on the health of the personnel working at the factory, as well as on environmental pollution. Microclimate control using an automated system makes it possible to provide optimal conditions for the functioning of the physiological state of individuals, which is reflected in various forms of ethological manifestations, on the reactions of eating behavior.
