Description Two biological experiments were carried out to assess and arrive at the
optimum dietary crude protein levels in Japanese quail brooder, grower and breeder
diets as well as the dietary calcium and phosphorous levels in their breeder diets.
Nandanam quail -3 strain breeder quail were reared from 0-day to 30 weeks
of age in cages for the purpose. In experiment-1, two protein levels of crude protein
of 22 and 24 per cent in brooder diets, two levels of 18 and 20 per cent in grower
diets and three levels of 17, 19 and 21 per cent in breeder diets were employed. The
above diets were maintained isocaloric at each phase (brooder-2750, grower-2650
and breeder-2700 kcal metabolizable energy per kg diet). The treatment groups had
all possible combinations, totalling 12 and were compared for production and
reproduction performance.
At three weeks of age, 24 per cent dietary protein resulted in significantly
higher body weight. However, the effect of dietary protein on body weight waded at
six weeks of age. Age at sexual maturity and at 50 per cent hen day egg production
and body weight at sexual maturity were also not influenced by dietary protein
levels employed in brooder and grower diets.
Dietary protein level in brooder diet was found to significantly influence per
cent hen day egg production (P
