| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at Babylon protectress in al-mussaib, babylon governorate from 18/3/2016 to 18/7/2016 to determine the effect of adding herbal methionine and compare with dl-methionine in productive performance of Japanese quail birds. A total 240 female quail at 8 week of age dividing randomly to eight treatments, each treatment three replicates (10 female/replicate) . The birds were fed on a basal diet with added herbal and synthetic methionine during 16 week of age . Treatments were as follows: (T1) control group (without supplementing synthetic methionine), (T2): diet supplemented 0.25 gm dl-methionine .kg-1feed . (T3) diet supplemented 0.5 gm dl-methionine .kg-1 feed. (T4) diet supplemented 0.75 gm dl-methionine /kg feed. (T5) control treatment (without supplementation of herbal methionine). (T6) diet supplementing 0.25 gm herbal methionine .kg-1 feed. (T7) diet supplementing 0. 50 gm herbal- methionine .kg-1 feed. (T8) diet supplementing 0.75gm Herbal- methionine.kg-1 feed. Result reveded significant increase for herbal methionine at level of 0.5 gm/kg-1 feed compared with Synthetic methionine treatment for traits in egg production (H.D), egg weight, egg mass and feed conversion ratio, while | ||
