| Abstract | ||
| This is study was carried out at the Poultry farm of the Animal Resource Department - College of Agriculture – University of Tikrit , during the period 31/10/2011 to 6/2/2012.to evaluates of the Effect of different protein levels during rearing period on reproductive performance of Japanese quail between 21 to 36 days of age , A total number of 240 birds were used in this study randomly distributed to 4 treatments groups of 3 replicates (20birds/replicate) and each replicate constituted ( 3 female and 1 male , 5 cages per replicate) . After experimental treatment , age at first egg , BW in age 3 , 6 and 17 weeks , egg production (HD%) , egg component. The results can be summarized as follow as : Egg production (HD%) , egg mass , feed conversion , weight shell percentage and thin shell higher significantly (p<0.05) in treatment 4 (18%) protein compared with other groups .No treatments differences were observed among body weight 17 wk. of age . body weight at first egg were significantly heavier for females fed 24% protein than birds on other treatments | ||
