Evaluation of the growth and egg-laying performance of quail (Coturnix Japonica) resulting from crosses of different strains of quail reared in Ivory Coast

Quail weight and laying rate are very important parameters for quail breeders. This study aims to evaluate the growth egg-laying performance of quails from different crosses in order consider an improvement through feeding. Thus, intra inter were made between light strain heavy strain. To assess performance, it is used each crossing result, 450 one day old 120 females aged 42 days. These reared under same experimental conditions. The weight, consumption conversion index, laying, egg mortality recorded. results show that has highest (250.3g) followed by mixed (216.9 - 218.8g). lowest (172.5g). Regarding indices, recorded index (3.24) (3.52 3.59). As rate, obtained (75.7%) (68.7 70.6%). (64.2%). In terms best (3.8), (4.51 4.72). no significant difference was observed strains (p> 0.05). Considering its a promising which could be improved with
