Resumen
This research aims to analyze information from different digital platforms on the productive potential of Japanese quail in Ecuador, for which information was collected from different university repositories and journals of scientific interest (Scielo, Science direct) in order to have enough data. Major researches that contributed to this work were of Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, Universidad Técnica del Norte, Universidad de Cuenca, Universidad Nacional de Loja, Universidad Estatal Amazónica. Researches carried out in the laying and fattening stage were studied, collecting clear and precise information to be organized in tables. Egg production is the most frequent activity; thus, these are the average production parameters for the Coast (F.C =2.80; egg weight= 11.36 g and production 71.34%), Highlands (F.C=3.87; egg weight= 11.15 g and production 74%), and Amazon (F.C =2.42; egg weight= 12.02 g and production 73.74%). Comparing the data on meat production, the productive parameters (F.C=1.46 and carcass yield 70.38%) show less development than other countries, except for feed conversion. When analyzing economically it is profitable to produce more meat ($1.55) than eggs ($1.13), the difficulty is that there is a greater demand for eggs than meat, which may be due to the food culture of the population. In conclusion, egg production in Ecuador has good production parameters and is following international data, while meat production is less developed than in other countries. It is recommended to implement additives that intervene in the improvement of production, such as the addition of exogenous enzymes, synthetic amino acids, and beneficial microorganisms.
