Description Two biological experiments were conducted using Japanese quails (Coturnix
coturnix japonica) from day old to thirty weeks of age to identifiy the dietary protein,
lysine and methionine requirement of layer Japanese quail reared in cages under a hot and
humid tropical climate.
In the first experiment 1200 quail chicks were fed with two levels of dietary
protein 24 and 26 per cent (0-3 weeks) each of these were further divided into two groups
providing 20 and 22 per cent dietary protein (4 to 6 weeks). At six weeks of age 480
layer quails were randomly selected and 40 birds with two replicates in each treatment
were provided with three levels of dietary protein of 16, 19 and 22 per cent. The total
numbers of treatments were twelve. The best protein combination was identified from
the first experiment to be applied to the next experiment. In the second experiment 468
layer quails were randomly selected from 1200 grower Japanese quails and placed under
nine dietary combinations of 0.95, 1.05, 1.15 dietary lysine with 0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 per
cent methionine respectively.
Higher dietary protein levels of 26 per cent recorded significantly (P
