چکیده مقاله :
The response of laying Japanese quails to dietary levels of energy and protein on performance, egg quality, hatchability, fertility and their effect on subsequent offspring live body weight was investigated. A total of 432 Japanese quails (13 weeks old) were divided into nine treatments. Each treatment comprised of four replicates of twelve birds (9 females and 3 males). Nine diets including three levels of metabolizable energy (ME) (11.51, 12.41 and 12.77 MJ/kg diet) and three levels of crude protein (CP) (180, 200 and 220 g/kg diet) in a 3 × 3 factorial design were formulated. Weight gain and egg production were higher in quails fed diets with high level of ME (12.77 MJ/kg diet) and CP (220 g/kg diet). Feed conversion ratio (FCR) improved linearly with the increase in dietary energy level, and the best FCR was obtained by 12.77 MJ ME/kg diet (P<0.05). Increasing energy and protein levels resulted in an increase in egg shell thickness, egg shell strength, albumen and yolk indexes (P<0.01). Percentage of hatchability and subsequent offspring live body weight at hatch were significantly affected by dietary ME and CP levels (P<0.01). Offspring live body weight were higher in chicks from hens fed diets high in energy and protein level. Based on the results of the present study, ME and CP levels of laying Japanese quails diets had significant effects on performance, egg quality and offspring live body weight at hatch.
در این تحقیق تأثیر سطوح مختلف انرژی و پروتئین بر عملکرد، کیفیت تخم مرغ، قابلیت جوجهدرآوری، باروری و وزن بدن جوجهها پس از تولد بررسی شد. تعداد 432 قطعه بلدرچین ژاپنی با سن 13 هفته به نه گروه تیماری تقسیم شدند. هر تیمار شامل چهار تکرار و تعداد 12 قطعه بلدرچین در هر تکرار (9 بلدرچین ماده و 3 بلدرچین نر) بود. جیرهها حاوی سطوح متفاوت انرژی متابولیسمی (51/11، 41/12 و 77/12 مگاژول در کیلوگرم) و پروتئین خام (180، 200 و 220 گرم در کیلوگرم) بودند. رشد وزن بدن و تولید تخم مرغ در بلدرچینهای تغذیه شده با جیرههای حاوی سطح بالای پروتئین خام (220 گرم در کیلوگرم) و انرژی متابولیسمی (77/12 مگاژول در کیلوگرم) در مقایسه با سایر گروهها بیشتر بود. با افزایش مقدار انرژی جیره، ضریب تبدیل غذایی به صورت خطی بهبود یافت و بهترین ضریب تبدیل غذایی در جیرهای حاوی 77/12 مگاژول در کیلوگرم انرژی متابولیسمی حاصل شد (05/0>P). افزایش مقدار انرژی متابولیسمی و پروتئین خام جیره، منجبر به افزایش ضخامت پوسته تخممرغ، مقاومت پوسته، شاخص سفیده و زرده شد (01/0>P). درصد جوجهدرآوری و وزن بدن نتاج پس از تفریخ به طور معنیداری تحت تأثیر سطح انرژی و پروتئین قرار گرفت (05/0>P)، به طوری که وزن بدن پس از تولد در جوجههای هچ شده از پرندگان تغذیه شده با جیرههای حاوی سطوح بالای انرژی و پروتئین بیشتر بود. به طور کلی، تغذیه بلدرچینها با سطوح بالای انرژی متابولیسمی (77/12 مگاژول در کیلوگرم) و پروتئین خام (220 گرم در کیلوگرم) میتواند موجب بهبود شاخصهای رشد، کیفیت تخممرغ و عملکرد نتاج پس از تولد شود.
