چکیده مقاله :
In order to examine the effects of feeding different levels of hatchery waste (HW) on Japanese quail, 160 Japanese quail were assigned in a completely randomized design with four experimental treatments includ-ing: 1) Control ration; 2,3 and 4) Control ration plus 2.5%, 5% and 10 % of dry matter (DM) hatchery waste, respectively. The experiment was conducted for 42 days (7 days for adaptation and 35 days for sam-ple collection). Quails are full access to water and feed. Daily feed intake and body weight gain were meas-ured. At the end of the experiment (day 35), the blood samples, microbial population and carcass treatment were collected from each treatment. The supplementation of hatchery waste had increased DM intake (P=0.0343) and body weight (P=0.0411) but had not effect on feed conversion ratio (P=0.0346). All blood parameters had improved with adding HW to feed treatments (P<0.05). Increasing hatchery waste in the ration increased the amount of carcass weight (P=0.0353), breast weight (P=0.0261), thigh weight (P=0.0417) and abdominal fat weight (P=0.0385). The HW significantly increased the population of lacto-bacillus (P=0.0415). In general, supplementing the ration of meat quails with hatchery waste, especially in high level, increased feed efficiency in a dose-response manner, body weight gain and improved serum parameters, improved lactobacillus bacterial population and carcass characteristics.
