 ABSTRACT

A study on layer quail farmers was carried out to assess the annual expenditure and income from quail rearing under field condition. Altogether, hundred and twenty layer quail farmers from three districts in Kerala namely, Wayanad, Kozhikode and Malappuram were selected for the study using multistage random sampling. A well-structured, pre-tested interview schedule were prepared for collection of primary data. The study was conducted in five different categories of farmers based on the flock size as very small (100-200 birds), small (201-500 birds), medium (501-2000 birds), large (2001 to 30000 birds) and very large (above 30000 birds). The study revealed that more than half (57.33 per cent) of the layer quail farmers under the study were had a flock size ranging from 501 to 2000 birds which was found to be the same flock size range which got highest net return per bird per annum. Various socio-economic parameters followed by gross and net income from the layer quail farming of these areas were analysed and tabulated.
