Abstract

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of two feed restriction program with and without probiotic on performance and egg traits of Japanese laying Quails. In the current study 216 quails were used from 6 to 14 weeks in 6 Treatments, 3 Replicates and 12 Quails in each replicate as a (3*2) include 3 diets (diet as NRC 1994 nutrient recommendation), diet with 7 hours feeding and 1 hour feed withdrawal and diet with 5% low nutrients than NRC 1994 nutrient recommendation and two levels of protexin probiotic in a completely randomized design. The results showed that time feed restriction caused the egg weight increased (P<0.05). However the yolk index and eggshell percentage increased (P<0.05). Whereas the nutrient restriction significantly reduced the values of egg percentage and egg mass, and increased the feed conversion ratio and reduced the egg shell thickness (P<0.01). Using probiotic reduced the amount of daily feed intake of Quails (P<0.05). The overall results indicated that in laying Japanese Quails in early laying period 5% nutrient reduction in contrast to NRC 1994 nutrient recommendation cause the performance reduce and not recommended, but with 7 hours feeding and 1 hour feed withdrawal program the egg weight increased.
