Today I come to write in this nice contest where the host is @shahariar1, and the contest is Foods Extracted From Animals " #1, is my participation about the consumption and breeding of these animals.

What is your favorite food of animal origin?

At the moment my favorite food is quail eggs. I am involved in the breeding, reproduction, and consumption of quail products. From them, I get the tasty meat, when the birds are many I prepare some of them stewed or roasted. Also, the eggs are delicious, I dare to say that they are more delicious than chicken eggs.

Quail eggs are eaten in different ways. Boiled, scrambled, stewed, in soups, etc... there is no limit to the way they can be prepared, it's up to you.

Where do you get this food?

I started raising quail more than a year ago. My first purchase was 5 female quail and a male. I started to enjoy their eggs after 4 months when they started laying. Then I bought 8 more, but the decision to have more birds was growing in me. So I bought a used homemade incubator. With this one, I instructed myself by reading online about what I needed to know. I learned what I was looking for, leading to the incubation of my quail eggs.

My production grew and in addition to quail eggs, I now eat the meat of the older quail. I also eat the ones that cause problems in the group. The ones that cause problems because they are not layers. These I eat.

Tell us about the nutritional value of the food.

Quail meat has a high nutritional value due to its protein, water, and amino acid content, necessary for the proper functioning of the human body.

Quail meat is widely recommended for being a lean meat low in calories and high in liquids. It is also low in fat and calories.

According to what I have been able to read, quail eggs have a high content of protein, iron, B complex, amino acids, and minerals such as selenium and zinc, in greater proportion than chicken eggs. It is recommended to consume no more than 6 quail eggs to maintain a homeostatic balance in the body.

Which do you think is the healthiest food of animal origin? Why?

It is said that chicken and rabbit meat are the healthiest meats, for their protein value and essential amino acids. I like both types of meat. I have also read that quail eggs are healthier than chicken eggs because of their higher protein content and essential amino acids for the body.
