| The effect of choice feeding on feed intake, diet selection, growth performance and some carcass characteristics in Japanese quails was investigated in the current study. Choice-fed quail chicks were offered a choice of a concentrate feed (CON, 300 g CP and 13.1 MJ ME kg") and grounded wheat (GW, 115 g CP and 12.8 MJ ME kg"), while control quail chicks (single-fed) were fed on a commercial feed (230 g CP and 13.4 MJ ME kg"). Choice feeding did not affect feed intake, daily gain, feed conversation ratio, final live weight and carcass weight (P> 0.05). These were determined in control and choice-fed quails as 24.9 vs 24.4 g, 7.58 vs 7.32 g, 3.29 vs 3.33, 282.8 vs 274.4 g, 203.7 vs 202.3 g, respectively. Choice-fed quails made a diet containing 255 g CP and 13.1 MJ, which had higher protein content, but lower metabolic energy content than control diet 230 g CP and 13.39 MJ per kg (P< 0.01), by selecting 74 ... |
