Calcium requirement and vitamin D supplementation in meat-type quail at second stage of growth

Abstract: -An experiment was conducted to determine the required levels of supplementary vitamin D and calcium in meat-type quail (Coturnix coturnix sp) between 15 and 35 days old. The experiment was a 4 × 4 factorial design with four levels of calcium: 0.42, 0.58, 0.74, and 0.90% and four levels of vitamin D: 1,000; 2,000; 3,000; and 4,000 IU. Body weight and body weight gain increased linearly and feed conversion showed some linear improvement due to increased levels of Ca and vitamin D. The increased vitamin D levels… Show more

“…Birds fed 100% inclusion levels of vitamin D 3 in their diet had the highest carcass weight. Perine et al (2016) observed that calcium and vitamin D levels did not have significant effects (P>0.05) on carcass and cut yields. However, the same pattern was observed with WG and BW such that calcium and vitamin D levels led to a linear increase (P<0.05) in carcass weight, breast weight, and leg weight.…”

“…Bhuiyan et al (2004) showed that overall body weight gain (BWG) and feed efficiency were significantly better in the vitamin A group receiving 1500 IU/kg feed. Perine et al (2016) found that in meat-type quail (Coturnix coturnixsp) between 15-and 35-days old body weight increased linearly with the four levels of vitamin D :1000; 2,000; 3,000; and 4,000 IU. Han et al (2015) reported that supplementation of 5 µg/kg 1a-OH-D 3 in diets containing 0.30% of NPP could improve growth performance of broiler chickens.…”

“…Cytoskeleton components are another Ca-binding protein that comes from the extracellular fluid in the nervous system or cellular calcium storage organelles in muscle, and play a key role in cell communication (Brody 1994). Both nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction also required calcium (McDonald et al 1995, Perine et al 2016.…”

“…There are several works that bring the requirements of laying quails in both methods (Silva et al, 2004a(Silva et al, , 2004bVieira et al, 2020a;2020b). However, for European quails, the data are scarce mainly in relation to the factorial method, and also, in mineral nutrition (Silva and Costa, 2009;Scherer et al, 2011;Vieira et al, 2012;Mariz et al, 2016;Perine et al, 2016).…”
