Abstract

In order to study the effect of different levels of dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) and calcium on performance, bone composition and carcass characteristics of Japanese quail, a total of 720 quail chicks were used in a 3×3 factorial arrangement with completely randomized design including three levels of DEB (150, 250 and 350 mEq/kg) and three levels of dietary calcium (0. 4, 0. 8, and 1. 6%) in 9 treatments, 5 replications and 16 birds per each replicate from 14 to 35 days of age. The results showed that the birds fed diet containing 0. 4% calcium and 250 mEq/kg DEB had the highest feed intake (P<0. 05). Experimental treatments had no effect on feed conversion ratio. At both 0. 4 and 0. 8% of dietary calcium level, the highest bone calcium content was observed at 150 mEq/kg DEB (P<0. 05). The minimum kidney weight was observed in treatment containing 1. 6% calcium and 150 mEg/kg DEB and the maximum thigh and breast relative weights were observed in treatment containing 0. 8% calcium and 150 mEq/kg DEB (P<0. 05). In conclusion, the interaction of dietary calcium and DEB could be considered as an important limitation in the feed formulation of growing Japanese quail.
