Abstract
Aim: The present study was
investigated to determine the optimum energy and protein
requirement for growth performance and nutrient digestibility of
white plumage Japanese quail during starter (1 to 3 week) and
finisher (4 to 5 week) phases.
Materials and Methods: Japanese quails were fed with nine
diets consisting of three levels of energy (2600, 2800 and 3000;
2800, 2900 and 3000 Kcal ME/kg) and protein (23, 25 and 27; 18, 20
and 22% CP) during starter and finisher phases, respectively, in
3×3 factorial design.
Results: Protein and energy individually had no influence
on final body weight (FBW) and weight gain, while feed efficiency
was significantly (P<0.05) increased. The protein × energy
interaction had significant (P<0.05) effect on growth and nutrient
utilization during both starter and finisher phases.
Conclusion: The growth performance was higher (P<0.05) in
quails fed on high protein-high energy (HP- HE) combination (27%
CP and 3000 Kcal ME/kg) and medium protein-high energy (MP-HE)
combination (20% CP and 3000 Kcal ME/kg) during starter and
finisher phase, respectively in autumn season. The diet with 20%
CP and 3000 Kcal ME/kg significantly (P<0.05) increased nutrients
digestibility and major minerals (Ca& P) balance.
Keywords: energy, protein, white japanese quail.
