| Abstract |
This work was conducted at the Poultry Research Station, ElAzaab, Fayoum, Egypt, to study the possibility of improving the utilization of wheat bran in quail diets. A total number of 640 one week old unsexed Japanese quail chicks were divided into 8 equal treatments (80 birds each) of approximately similar in body weight. Treatment 1 received the control diet containing 24.03% CP and 2896 kcal ME/kg. Treatment 2 was received the basal wheat bran diet (WB-diet) containing 24.00% CP and 2360 kcal ME/kg. Treatments 3,4,5,6,7 and 8 were received the WB-diet supplemented with either1% radish extract (RE), 1% RE + 0.1 % Avizyme 1500 (E). 1% RE + l.0 % sodium sulphate (SS) , 0.1% E , 1% SS or 1% SS+0.1% E, respectively.
All feed additives at 3 weeks of age increased body weight and to some extent improved feed conversion. At 6 weeks of age there was insignificant differences between all dietary treatments. In laying phase (820 weeks), all feed additives improved egg number, egg mass and feed conversion compared to the birds fed WB-diet alone. The combination of RE+E, RE+SS and SS+E improved hatchability percentage compared to the birds fed either WB-diet alone or those fed the control diet. It could be concluded that RE, E or SS alone or in combinations can be used to improve the utilization of 30% wheat bran in quail diets in both growing and laying phases.
