The content of trace elements in the organs and tissues of animals and poultry, including quails and Guinea fowls, which in recent years, the efforts of the heads of peasant farms began to be actively imported and acclimatized in a number of regions of Russia, is one of the important diagnostic indicators of the presence of the syndrome of hidden (asymptomatic) form of hypomicroelementosis in birds, in regions where a low level of certain physiologically necessary microelements for the body is recorded. Comparing the data with very few results of studies of trace elements in organs and tissues of other species of birds, it can be concluded that the low level of selenium, iodine and cobalt in soils and plants of the Astrakhan region is well correlated and has a negative impact on the number of these elements in organs and tissues of the studied birds.

Key words: йод, селен, кобальт, микроэлементы, перепела, цесарки, iodine, selenium, cobalt, trace elements, quail, Guinea fowl
