Abstract
The study was designed to evaluate the effect of early chick nutrition
regimens on the production performance of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix
japoica). Different nutrient regimens include glucose with probiotic, glucose with
threonine, high density dict (28 per cent CP and 3100 Kcal ME/kg) alone and high
density diet along glucose and probiotic and high density diet along with glucose
and threonine in hatcher tray and subsequent three days in pen. After three days,
quail chicks in all treatment groups were switched over to the recommended
Japanese quail diet (BIS 2007) upto 16 weeks of age. Production parameters which
include body weight and cumulative body weight gain, feed efficiency, carcass
characteristics and cut up parts and other parameters such as gastrointestinal organ
Weight and biometry, histomorphometry of small intestine, serum biochemetry
and egg production parameters were studied.
