“…In a later study, Hamid and Yassin (2018) found that quail birds fed the highest CP level (26%) gave the highest means of final LBW, BWG and the best FCR compared to those fed 24 and 22% CP-diets. In addition, Kouassi et al (2020) evaluated five levels of dietary CP (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26%) for Japanese quails during the second three weeks of life and found that growth performance significantly improved as dietary CP level increased from 18 to 22% but dietary CP level beyond 22% had no beneficial effect. In harmony with the current results, Sherif (2009) found that dietary enzyme supplementation to broiler chicks improved their marketing weight of chicks comparing with the control birds.…”

A study was performed to investigate the effect of dietary protein level and addition of yeast or exogenous enzymes on growth performance and carcass characteristics of Japanese quail. A factorial completely randomized design (3×3), three dietary protein levels (24, 21.6 and 19.2%) without or with two feed additives was used. Five hundred and forty quails were randomly divided into nine groups, kept in cages, fed their respective experimental diets and managed similarly from 2 to 6 weeks of age. The obtained results illustrated that growth performance of quails did not affected by dietary protein level. Quails fed enzyme-enriched diets achieved better feed conversion than the control birds. Feeding yeast-supplemented diets improved the final body weight and weight gain of quails compared with the control birds. Economic efficiency of feeding (EEF) and carcass characteristics were not influenced by dietary protein level, feed additives and their interaction. In conclusion, decreasing dietary CP level from 24 to 19.2% does not compromise the growth performance, economic efficiency or carcass traits of quails. Dietary yeast supplementation has a beneficial effect on growth performance of quails, regardless of dietary CP level.

Betaine plays a vital role in forming amino acids to compose proteins, converted into structural tissue in poultry. This study aimed to predict the growth pattern of quails fed diet supplemented with betaine using a logistic regression model. In total, 84 10-day-old quails were divided into two treatments (T0: control, T1: betaine supplementation 0.12%). The diets were given in 2 phases (starter: 22% crude protein; layer: 20% crude protein), where weekly bodyweight data was recorded in each phase. The t-test was conducted to see the effect between treatments, while logistic regression was used to predict the pattern of bodyweight growth. The result showed no effect of betaine in bodyweight parameters (p>0.05) between T0 and T1 both for the starter and layer phases which might be associated with the nutrient sufficiency in the diet, particularly dietary protein. The logistic model’s bodyweight prediction has high accuracy with the fitness value for T0=99% and T1=98%. It can be concluded that betaine supplementation in high nutritional diets could not modify the growth pattern of quails.
