Abstract:In Experiment one, a total of 60 blue peacocks were randomly assigned into the control group (12.00 MJ/kg) and treatment group (12.30 MJ/kg). Each group consisted of three repeats and each replicate contained 10 peacocks (2 males and 8 females). In Experiment two, based on better metabolic energy (ME) (12.30 MJ/kg), 90 blue peacocks were randomly assigned to three dietary treatments with 18.00%, 19.00% and 20.00% crude protein (CP) levels. The results of Experiment one revealed that the different dietary ME le… Show more
