Abstract

An on-farm experiment was conducted using 360 one-day old
Japanese quail chicks which, individually wing-banded, weighed and
randomly distributed into 4 experimental groups of similar mean
body weight of 3 replicates each and aimed to study the possibility of
improving the ME of SBM-based diets fed to Japanese quail
(Coturnix coturnix japonica) by dietary addition of a commercial
enzyme preparation “Xylam500" at a level of 0.5 kg/ton and its effect
on growth performance, some carcass traits, intestinal viscosity and
incidence of pasting vents and laying performance. Two
experimental starter-grower corn-soybean meal diets (C-SBM) were
formulated to be iso-nitrogenous (24% CP) and containing two ME
levels (2900 & 2750 kcal ME/kg diet). Also, two experimental CSBM layer basal diets were formulated to be iso-nitrogenous (20%
CP) and containing two ME levels (2900 & 2750 kcal ME/kg diet).
Four dietary treatments in both starting-growing and laying periods
were compared; two treatments consisted of the two basal diets
without “Xylam500" supplementation and two treatments consisted of
the two basal diets supplemented with “Xylam500" at a level of 0.5
kg/ton. Live growth performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal
viscosity and incidence of pasting vents and laying performance
were determined. Generally, supplementing Xylam500 to RE-diet gave
equal performance to the corresponding Xylam500-free diet. But,
supplementing Xylam500 to LE-diet significantly improved PI and GR,
EP %, EN, EW, EM, FCR, carcass parameters %, liver, heart and
edible giblets %. However, it significantly decreased MR %,
abdominal fat %, the viscosity in different parts of intestine, pasting
vents % and FI. Nutritionally, it could be concluded that
supplementing “Xylam500" in both starter-grower and layer diets at a
level of 0.5 kg/ton helped in improving quail performance, carcass
traits and egg production traits.
