The response of laying Japanese quails to dietary levels of energy and protein on performance, egg quality, hatchability, fertility and their effect on subsequent offspring live body weight was investigated. A total of 432 Japanese quails (13 weeks old) were divided into nine treatments. Each treatment comprised of four replicates of twelve birds (9 females and 3 males). Nine diets including th...

Quail production is steadily gaining importance in developing countries like Uganda, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas. However, inappropriate feeding practices such as using the same feed classes across different growth stagesor beyond the recommended growth stageshave been reported among quail farmers. This study evaluated the nutritional properties of quail diets used in urban and p...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...
