An experiment was conducted in the fields of the poultry unit - Livestock Division - Nineveh Research Department, to find out the effect of using low-intensity magnetic flux (110 Gaos) in two periods of incubate quail eggs, on the growth and production performance of the resulting birds, the results showed a significant increase (P ≤0.05) for the magnetic flux treatment on control treatment for hatchability% and fertility%, the percentage of dead embryos decreased significantly (P ≤0.05) for the second exposure period treatment than the control treatment, the two magnetic exposure treatments were significantly superior (P ≤ 0.05) to control treatments in the body weight at one and four weeks age (g), weight gain (g) and food conversion ratio (g/g). The magnetic exposure treatment also achieved a significant decrease (P ≤0.05) for the number of days to reach sexual maturity (or the days to obtain 5% egg production) and for food consumed / kg. The two magnetic treatments were also significantly superior in food conversion ratio (kg feed / kg egg) for the eight-week period of egg production.

The research was carried out in the Livestock Research Division / Nineveh Research Department using 720 birds at one-day-old, distributed on four substitution millet energy 0% (control), 20%, 30%, and 40% instead of corn energy, to study its effect on the growth and production periods for partridge. The results showed that the 30% substitution treatment was significantly superior (P <0.05) on control treatment in body weight, Also, in feed consumption, the three treatments were significantly superior (P < 0.05) on control treatment, while there was no significant difference between the four treatments for weight gain and food conversion ratio in the starter period (1-4) weeks of age. As for the growth period (5-24) weeks, a significant decrease (P <0.05) in body weight is observed with an increase in the millet replacement percentage, the control treatment was significantly superior (P <0.05) on the 30% substitution treatment in the weight gain, whereas the control treatment, decreased significantly (P <0.05) from the substitution treatment 40% in the feed consumption and food conversion ratio. As for the egg production stage, the control treatment was significantly superior (P <0.05) on 20% and 40% treatments in the number and percentage of eggs, the feed consumed was not affected by the treatments under study, while there was a significant difference (P <0.05) between the age of 26 weeks and the age of 33 weeks in feed consumption, Control treatment decreased significantly (P <0.05) from substitution treatment 20% in FCR / Dozen egg. the treatment of substitution 30% increased significantly (P <0.05) on control treatment for hatching%, fertility% and hatching from fertilized eggs%.
