Abstract

This study was done to assess the nutritional attributes of broken rice on feed intake, utilization of nutrients, performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits in quails. Day-old commercial meat quails (Japanese quail) (n=300) were randomly distributed to five treatment groups. Basal maize-soya diet was fed to Control group, and for treatment groups, T1, T2, T3, and T4 5, 10, 15, and 20% maize was replaced with BR (w/w basis), respectively. The diets that were formulated were made to be iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. No significant difference in weekly FCR and PER was observed for the first five weeks. The blood biochemical parameters viz. plasma glucose, total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin-globulin ratio, cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were similar in all the dietary treatments. Though, the cost per kg of feed was lower for treatment groups, the cost-benefit ratio was comparable for all five groups. It may be recommended that maize can be replaced up to 15 % level with broken rice in the ration of meat quails with no adverse effects on body weight, feed intake, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), utilization of nutrients, and blood biochemical parameters.
