Abstract
A trial was conducted on 160 quails to evaluate the level of inclusion of Sheanut cake
in the diets using four dietary treatments at (0%) T1, (3%) T2, (6%) T3 and (9%) T4 level of
Sheanut cake at Poultry Experimentation Station, College of Veterinary Science Rajendranagar
Hyderabad. Significantly (P<0.05) highest body weight gain was observed for T2 compared to
other test diets. Feed consumption was significantly (P<0.05) highest in T2 compared to
other test diets. Feed conversion efficiency was reduced with increased levels of Sheanut
cake and the T2 diet was comparable to control diet. The performance of birds was
comparable with control diet at 3% level of inclusion, although their performance was
significantly reduced by inclusion of Sheanut cake at 6% and 9%.
