“…Shrivastav et al (1994) concluded that laying quail performed well when given 19% dietary protein and 2750 kcal ME/ kg and when early diets contained 24 and 20% CP in the starter and finisher periods, respectively. The protein and energy requirements of grower and layer Japanese quail have been reported under different conditions (Alagawany et al, 2014a,b;Reda et al, 2015;Reda et al, 2020).…”

The present study was carried out to examine the effect of dietary protein levels (18, 20, and 22%) and addition of cold-pressed oils (no addition, 1 g thyme, 1 g oregano, and 0.5 g thyme + 0.5 g oregano /kg diet) on the productive and reproductive performance and egg quality of Japanese quail at the laying period. 324 mature ten-week-old Japanese quails (216 females and 108 males) were used. Quails were randomly distributed to 12 treatment groups, 27 in each group, with 3 replicates of 9 quails (6 females and 3 males) per group. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) significantly improved in the layers fed with the diets containing 20 or 22% CP in all experimental periods, except in 3- to 4-month-old birds. The diets supplemented with thyme only or interaction with oregano improved FCR significantly compared to the control or oregano -administered group in all experimental periods, except in 2- to 3-month-old birds. Dietary supplementation with thyme oil caused the egg number and egg mass to increase significantly in all experimental periods compared to the other dietary groups. Fertility percentages were significantly higher in the groups which had oregano than in the control group. Dietary supplementation with thyme oil significantly increased the egg number (P<0.05) and egg mass (P<0.01) in all experimental periods compared to other dietary groups. Fertility and hatchability percentages were not significantly affected due to varying dietary protein levels throughout the experiment. In conclusion, the quails fed with a diet containing 20 to 22% CP or supplemented with oregano or thyme oil exhibited an improved productive and reproductive performance without any detrimental impacts on the other parameters studied.

“…According to Kanyinji and Moonga [ 30 ], the increase in FCR may be a consequence of wastage and its reduction may be related to high fiber content. According to Reda et al [ 31 ], factors influencing the FCR are environmental temperature, genetics, body weight, feed nutrient content, and gender differences due to variation in FI.…”

Objective: Quail production is ranked as an important alternative animal protein source in Cameroon. One of the main constraints of this production is the quality of feed, which lacks pro¬tein that is regularly supplied by fish meal. To avoid disagreements due to the constant shortage of fish meal, alternative protein sources are needed, and among them are crickets (Acheta domes¬ticus). The goal of this study was to find out how well Japanese quails could be raised if fish meal was replaced with cricket meal. Materials and Methods: A total of 192, 4-week-old quails were divided into 12 similar sets of 8 females and 8 males. The Four experimental diets (T00, T15, T30, and T45) were all formulated based on the level (0%, 15%, 30%, and 45%, respectively) of fish meal substitution with cricket meal in the basal diet (crude protein: 20.18% and ME: 3,013.78 kcal/kg) and randomly assigned to three sets in a completely randomized design consisting of four treatments each repeated three times. Growth, carcass, and some reproduction parameters were collected. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Duncan test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Cricket meal diets increased body weight in males (204.32 ± 5.69 gm for T45) and regard¬less of the sex (226.72 ± 29.45 gm for T30) compared to 184.17 ± 3.11 gm and 214.55 ± 32.77 gm for the control group, respectively. In females, substitution at 30% increased body weight (253.80 ± 6.48 gm), while 45% induced a reduction (216.67 ± 6.49 gm) when compared to the control group value (244.92 ± 6.07 gm). Carcass yield and the proportion of different parts were not significantly affected by the experimental diets. Liver proportions were significantly higher at 15% and 35% cricket meal incorporation compared to 45%. First songs and egg laying were recorded at 7 weeks with T15, which also led to improved egg laying performance compared to the other treatments. Ovaries were poorly developed in the T45 females compared to the other treatments. Conclusions: Cricket flour might be a good candidate as a locally available protein source to sub¬stitute fish meal in the Japanese quail’s diet at the finisher and reproductive stages, and the level of 30% seems to be more efficient.

“…Both energy and protein constitute 85% of the total cost of feeding in these projects [3]. AA are the only structural, functional, or ctuculturali, that regulate metabolic pathways in the body [4] , stimulate protein synthesis and fat metabolism, and play an important role in increasing broiler growth [5] , in addition, to their antioxidant role, especially methionine. And lysine, threonine, and arginine improve the gut health of birds through their effect on immune globulin [6] , as these acids enter the formation of mucin, which has a role in promoting digestion and absorption processes by increasing goblet cells [7] .…”

The experiment was conducted in the poultry field of the Department of Animal Production - College of Agriculture - Tikrit University for the period from 18-25/10/2021, as the purpose of it was to strengthen low-protein diets with some essential amino acids (AA) and their effect on productive performance and some physiological characteristics of broilers. In this experiment, (300) ROSS 308 birds were bred with an average initial weight of 39.7 g. The birds were divided into five treatments, each treatment consisted of three replicates and was distributed in cages (20 birds per cage), the treatments were randomly distributed, (T1) the first treatment was treated The comparison contains protein according to the ROSS guide 308, and (T2) the second treatment in which the protein was reduced by 5% and fortified with essential AA (lysine, methionine, and threonine), and (T3) the third treatment in which the protein was reduced by 10% and was fortified with AA (Lysine, methionine, and threonine), and (T4) the fourth treatment, in which the protein was reduced by 15% and fortified with AA (Lysine, methionine, and threonine), and (T5) the fifth treatment, which reduced the protein by 20% less than the recommendations of the NRC ( 1994) and fortified with AA (lysine, methionine, and threonine). The results of this experiment showed that there were no significant differences between the experimental treatments in the clearance ratio for both males and females, while there were significant differences at a significant level (P<0.05) in both the first treatment and the fifth treatment in the characteristic of the relative weight of the liver for males higher than The rest of experimentalist treatments, whereas the 4th and 5th treatments were higher levels than the rest of experimentalist treatments in the characteristic of the relative weight of the heart of males, while there were no significant differences in each of (gizzard, spleen and belly fat) for male broilers, while the fourth treatment (T4) outperformed the third treatment. In the characteristic of the relative weight of the gizzard in female broilers, the significance of the fourth treatment and the rest of the experiment treated not differ in the same characteristic, while there were no significant differences at a significant level (P<0.05) in (liver, heart, spleen, and belly fat) in the Female broilers. As for the biochemical characteristics of male and female broilers, additionality treatments were superior in some of them, and there were no statistically significant differences in some others
