Quail Nutrition-Effect of Energy Level on Performance of Japanese Qail

Different energy levels were used in quail feed to examine its carcass quality, production and growth performance. Three different energy levels of 2700 kcal/kg, 2900 kcal/kg (which was control) and 3100 kcal/kg of feed were offered to 600 day old quail chicks for 28 days. There were four replicates under each of the three groups; each replicate having 50 chicks. Weekly feed consumption, weight gain and FCR were recorded. The results of the experiment revealed that feed consumption and body weight gain were significantly (p
