| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was conducted at Animal Production Department Farm /College of Agriculture. University of Kirkuk, to study the improvement the nutritional value of sorghum (Sudanese) by using local mineral clay (Fatha- F) , Eucalyptus wood charcoal and methionine in female Japanese quail diets . A total of One hundred and eighty female Japanese quail (137) days old, were used in the experiment. Birds were randomly distributed into 9 groups of 20 birds each, in five replicates containing 4 birds each Cage with dimmesion…. As replicae . Diets were formulated according to the nutritional requirements of NRC (1994).The experiment treatments as fallowing were (T1 control ) 50% maize , (T2) 50% sudani sorghum, (T3) 50% sudani sorghum + 0.8% Local mineral clay(Fatha- F), (T4) 50% sudani sorghum + 0.8% Eucalyptus wood charcoal powder, (T5) 50% sudani sorghum +adding 10% Above of nutritional requirement of methionine, (T6) 50% sudani Sorghum + 0.8% Local mineral clay(Fatha- F) + 0.8% Eucalyptus wood charcoal powder, (T7) 50% sudani Sorghum + 0.8% Local mineral clay(Fatha- F) + adding 10% Above of nutritional requirement of methionine, (T8) 50% sudani Sorghum + 0.8% Eucalyptus wood charcoal powder + adding 10% Above of nutritional requirement of methionine, (T9) 50% sudani Sorghum + 0.8% Local mineral clay(Fatha- F) + 0.8 % Eucalyptus wood charcoal powder + adding 10% Above of nutritional requirement of methionine. The results showed that the experimental treatments have no significant effect on egg production (H.D %), egg mass and feed Intake. Treatments also revealed a significant effect on egg weight. Also showed significant effect on feed conversion efficiency between treatments. There was no significant effect on egg quality traits except yolk color . The study showed the possibility of adding 0.8% of Local mineral clay (Fatha- F) and 0.8% of Eucalyptus wood charcoal powder to Japanese quails diets containing 50% of the diet sorghum as a replacement of maize without any negative effects on the productive performance with paramount necessity to use the pigments to make yolk color more darkness. | ||
