Abstract: -This experiment was carried with Japanese quails in the egg production phase with the objective of determining the requirements of digestible methionine + cystine (M+C) for higher production and egg quality. A total of 240 Japanese quails were distributed in a randomized complete block design. The basal diet was supplemented with different DL-methionine levels, corresponding to digestible methionine + cystine levels of 0.55, 0.61, 0.67, 0.73 and 0.79%. The characteristics analyzed were feed intake (g/quail/da… Show more

“…The analysis of orthogonal contrasts for the significant variables (relative weight of shell, albumen and yolk and specific gravity) showed that animals fed the control diet laid eggs with lower absolute values for shell and albumen weight and were more prone to having a thin shell based on specific gravity analysis. These results show the importance of the supplemental dietary methionine source for laying quails because methionine is the first limiting amino acid for laying poultry (Costa et al., ; Reis et al., ), especially for shell thickness, as this variable is key for egg integrity.…”
