what is white Quail??

Dear sir,

thanks for yur interest.

 

In many states illegal sale of Quails (Japanese Quails),coturnix coturnix

japonica, in name of poultry goes on unchecked.

 

The hand book of Birds of India & Pakistan by Dr.salim Ali has mentioned the

existence of this species in nature and these are present in wild in Northeast

states.These are protected under schedule IV of Wildlife Protection Act 1972.

Mr.S C Sharma,then Jt.Director(WL),Govt. of India has mentioned in his letter

{No.3-22/84(WL-I)dated 2.11.1988 }to All forest secretaries and Chief Wildlife

Wardens that species has been covered under Sch IV of WPA 1972 and there fore

any breeding in captivity and trade in the species is governed under sec.48

of the Act. This was recommended by a committee of Indian Board of wildlife in

its meeting dated 20.8.1988.

I nthis letter it is mentioned that CWW may consider granting of Licence to

persons who are already in trade and against whom no complaints are pending.

 

Similarly Mr.Kishore Rao then DIG(WL) has also clarified in his letter

No.3-22/84/FRY(WL) dated 27.6.1997 that it would not be appropriate to delete

these from WPA 1972.Any one wants to deal with it should get licence from the

competent authority.To simplify they have delegated the powers to Officers of

Animal Husbandary Deptt. not below the rank of Vety.astt.surgeons under

wildlife Protection Act and also asked the Jt.Commissioner Poultry to Issue

notification in this regard and issue licences under intimation to Wildlife

deptt.

 

As per sec 44a(IV,V),44b,48 etc the licence has to be granted to persons who are

already into trade and has experience but the poulterers are not experienced in

handling wildlife???

 

Secondly, from where the White quails came.Has the University has any permission

from wildlife Deptt. for Genetically breeding or hybridization of quails??
