Performance of Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica Temminck & Schlegel, 1849) Fed Hatchery Waste Meal
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hatchery waste meal in ration on performance of quails. The experiment used 500 quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica Temminck & Schlegel, 1849) aged 30 d with an average initial body weight of 94.75 g ± 4.17 g. The quails were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with five replicates containing twenty quails. The dietary treatments were: P0 =
basal ration; P1 = 96 % basal ration + 4 % whole hatchery waste meal; P2 = 92 % basal ration + 8 % whole hatchery waste meal, P3 = 96 % basal ration + 4 % shells hatchery waste meal, P4 = 92 % basal ration + 8 % shells hatchery waste meal. The dietary treatments were given for 28 d. Performance data were analyzed by using analysis of variance, and when the treatment indicated significant effects, it was continued with orthogonal contrast test. Feeding hatchery waste meal improved the performance of quails (P < 0.05). Shells hatchery waste meal improved egg production, feed conversion, and protein efficiency ratio than whole hatchery waste meal (P < 0.05). Feeding 8 % whole hatchery waste meal improved egg production than 4 % whole hatchery waste meal (P < 0.05), while feeding 8 % shells hatchery waste meal tended to improve egg production than 4 % shells hatchery waste meal (P = 0.09). It can be concluded that hatchery waste meal improved the performance of quails, particularly 8 % shells hatchery waste meal, which showed the best response.
