“…Energy and food requirements of the chicks Little appears to be known about the basic energetics of wild galliforms. Most of the experimental nutritional studies have been concerned with the domestic fowl-the few studies on wild galliforms being directed towards improving the quality of feeds (Skoglund 1940) or determining the influence of various nutrients on production and survival (Nestler 1946, Norris et al 1936). Hence the following determination of the minimum energy requirements of the blue grouse chick will be based on the present knowledge of the energetics of the domestic chick.…”

“…The importance of high-protein diets for optimal growth and survival of pheasant chicks has been documented (Norris, 1934;Norris et al, 1936;Scott et al, 1963;Cain and Creger, 1975;Murray, 1977;Woodard et al, 1977). In the wild, the protein requirement of pheasant chicks has apparently been satisfied by a neartotal diet of insects during the first weeks of life (Dalke, 1935;Kirkpatrick, 1944;Trautman, 1952;Scott et al, 1954;Stokes, 1954;Loughrey and Stinston, 1955;Dale and DeWitt, 1958;Korschgen, 1964).…”

Effects of Dietary Protein Level and Environmental Temperature Stress on Growth of Young Ring-Necked Pheasants

1982

Trials were conducted to evaluate growth rates of two age groups of young ringnecked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) fed two dietary protein levels (28 and 18%) and at two environmental temperatures (warm and cool). Birds fed the high protein diet gained faster and more efficiently than those fed the low protein diet during the first 24 days posthatching. Beyond that time, birds gained just as well on the 18% CP diet. Heat stress slowed weight gains, more in older (45-day-old) than in younger (24-day-old) birds, and particularly when the high protein diet was fed. (

“…(Received for publication October 4, 1948) T HE results of Callenback and Hiller (1933) and of Norris, Elmore, Ringrose, and Bump (1936) on the protein requirements of Ringnecked pheasants showed that the young of this species require a level of protein in the diet of about 28 to 30 percent, which indicates that the nutritional requirements of the pheasant resemble those of the turkey poult (Scott, Heuser, and Norris, 1948) more than they do those of the domestic chick.…”
