All our breeders are carefully selected by hand, in order to achieve the best results in the breeding.
We select the best females and males, according their fertility and their weight.
Our carefully selection from the beginning, allows us to have the best product.
All our quails always are fed with a 100% natural and vegetarian diet.
Hatchery
Once females and males are put together (3 females every 1 male; 6 months life cycle), we get an egg that can be incubated (6 eggs per week).
These eggs are disinfected and transported to the hatchery facility.

Farm
The company has 100 farms all around Lleida (Catalonia).
Every farm must comply with European standards in terms of density: less than 90 quails per square meters.
Urgasa vets visit all farms on a weekly basis in order to monitor the following criterion: water, feed (elaborated by Urgasa), mortality, weight, ventilation and sickness.
In general terms, quails stay in the farms 30 days aproximately, until they reach around 8.8 Oz and they are transported to the slaughterhouse.
All the quails have the same age when they are transported from the hatchery to the farms and thus, from farms to the slaughterhouse.
