Performance and Carcass of Broiler Quails Fed Distillers’ Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)

This study determined the metabolizable energy of DDGS for broiler quails (Experiment I) and evaluated effect different dietary levels on performance, carcass, organ weight, meat quality, economic viability II). In Experiment I, 72 were randomly distributed into two treatments (reference or test diets). The experimental period consisted 5 days adaptation, followed by total excreta collection. Experimental diets a reference diet containing 800 g/kg 200 DDGS. experiment II, 432 unsexed groups fed six (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 g/kg). At 43 age, birds slaughtered carcass yield, quality. Apparent values corrected nitrogen retention 2,488 2,466 kcal/kg males females, respectively. growth phase overall period, feed intake increased linearly (p=0.015 0.040) conversion ratio worsened (p=0.038 0.001) with inclusion in diet, A linear increasing (p=0.001) gizzard weight was observed levels, while variables affect depending seasonal feedstocks prices. It is concluded that up to do not growth, characteristics, quality quails. However, prices ingredients harvest off-season should be considered determine level
