| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted in the farm of poultry-animal production department of the faculty of Agriculture- University of Kirkuk, to determine the effect of using the local mineral clay (Anjanh-N), eucalyptus wood ash and methionine in diet contained millet seeds on the performance and internal edible organs of male and female quail Distributed randomly (360) Japanese quail un sexed (10 days old) to 9 treatment by four replicate for each treatment (10) birds per cage dimensions of cage were (50*60*50 cm). Chicks fed the dietary treatment T1(54% of wheat), T2 (27%wheat +27% seeds of millet), T3(27%wheat +27% seeds of millet +0.8% local mineral clay Anjanh-N), T4 (27% wheat + 27%seeds of millet +0.8% eucalyptos wood ash), T5 (27%wheat +27% seeds of millet + adding 10% methionine above the NRC (1994) recommended), T6 (27%wheat +27% seeds of millet + 0.8% local mineral clay Anjanh-N +0.8% eucalyptos wood ash), T7 (27%wheat +27%seeds of millet +0.8% local mineral clay Anjanh-N + adding 10% methionine above the NRC (1994) recommended), T8 (27% wheat +27% seeds of millet +0.8% eucalyptos wood ash+ adding 10% methionine above the NRC(1994) recommended), T9 (27%wheat +27%seeds of millet +0.8% local mineral clay Anjanh-N +0.8% eucalyptos wood ash + adding 10% methionine above the NRC (1994) recommended) from the age of 10-45 days The statistical analysis obtained no significant (p≤0.05) differences were found in feed intake and efficiency, conversion of feed, protein and energy among treatments, while the differences were significant (p≤0.05) in the body weight and body weight gain, The T4 significantly (p≤0.05) was better than T7and T8. The T2 was significantly (p≤0.05) higher for the all treatment in the relative weight of the gizzard except The T9. The were no significant differences in the relative weight of the liver and the weight of the carcass, The T1 was significantly (p≤0.05) was better than T5, T6, T7, T8 in the relative weight of the breast and in the relative weight of the thigh the value of the T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8 significantly (p≤0.05) higher thanT1. All treatments except the T1 were for significantly (p≤0.05) higher than T3in the relative weight of the back part. | ||
