Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Snail supplemented diet on production performances of Japanese quail. A total of 120, day old quails were assigned into four groups T0, T1, T2 and T3, each group contained 10 birds with 3 replication. Group T0 was considered as control formulated diet without snail. Groups T1, T2 and T3 fed also formulated diet supplemented with 1%, 2% and 3% snail respectively. Live body weight, body weight gain, plasma calcium and phosphorus level were determined at the age of 15, 30, 45 and 60 days of quail. Number of egg, egg weight, yolk and albumin index, Egg shape index, parameters were started from the day of 45 to end of the experiment. Although of the T1 on day 30, 45 & 60 live body weights were not significantly (p>0.05) increased, the birds of T2 and T3 were significantly increased from the control birds without snail. Number of egg, egg weight, yolk and albumin index, Egg shape index were almost similar among different treatment groups. Plasma Calcium and phosphorus level were higher among the treatment groups compared to the control and differed significantly (p<0.01). The present study revealed that the supplementation of snail in the quail feed ration were effective improve the performance in quail.
Key words: Snail, Japanese quail, Feed, Egg, Growth performance, Plasma Calcium and Phosphorus.
