| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted in the Poultry Research Station Animal Resources Research department–state Board of Agricultural Research- Ministry of Agricultural in Abu Ghraib, which included one experiment to study the effect of supplementing different levels sources of Phytase enzyme to the Japanese Quail diets of birds on productive performance, Eighty hundred female quail birds (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica) 50 days of age, the experiment period from 31/8/2011 to 21/12/ 2011 (16 weeks). Quail birds distributed randomly to 16 treatments with various sources of Phytase, each source contain three levels divide to 16 treatments with 2 replicates (25 quail birds per replicate).The results of the second experiment showed, There are a significant increasing (P<0.05) for the treatment T4 (B) which recorded higher egg production. While T5 treatments showed significant increasing (P<0.05) at levels A in egg weight, while significant superiority in feed conversion ratio for T5 and T6 at level A and C and T2B and T4B. | ||
