The current study was carried out to assess the effect of dietary inclusion of Rapeseed meal (RSM) on growth performance of Japanese quails. Day old Japanese quails of either sex (n=150) were distributed randomly into five dietary groups each with three replicates of 10 birds. The birds were maintained under uniform management conditions. Five diets were formulated by inclusion of RSM at 0% (Basal diet, T1), 10% (T2), 15% (T3), 17.5% (T4) and 20% (T5) levels by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. All the rations were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. The feed and water were provided ad lib and the birds were housed in battery cages during the entire experimental period of 35 days. Results revealed that mean body weights, mean cumulative body weight gains, cumulative feed intake and cumulative feed conversion ratio did not exhibit any significant (p>0.05) difference. The digestibility of rapeseed meal decreased significantly (p<0.05). The cost of feed per kg live weight also decreased significantly (p<0.05) when fed with different levels of rapeseed meal. Based on the results, it can be concluded that Rapeseed meal can be included up to 20% level in diets of quails without affecting production performance.
