The study was aimed at determining the effect of quail origin on their utility and egg quality traits. Young quails were reared at own farm under most favorable microclimate conditions using the standard feeding adapted to particular rearing stages. In the fifth week of life, the quails were weighted and three groups were formed for Pharaoh breed and White and Golden varieties, 24 birds each. Adult birds were kept in cages as before using standard microclimate parameters and 17 hours long light day. The feeding was based on whole-meal feed mix with nutritive value consistent with recommended poultry feeding standards. In the 18th week of life of the laying quails, 20 eggs of each group were collected to evaluate their quality traits. The effect of quail origin on laying rate and feed consumption converted to one egg was found.
