Abstract:
The present study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance of quails chicks by substituting the four different levels of Moringa oleifera leaf powder (0%, 1.5%, 3% and 4.5%) by weight basis in feed. A total of 216 day old chicks were selected and after two weeks of brooding they were randomly divided into four experimental groups. Each group was further subdivided into 3 replicas containing 9 chicks in each. Different combinations of feed were offered to them for a period upto 12 weeks. The findings of above research work showed that birds fed on diets containing Moringa oleifera leaf powder (MOLP) gains significantly higher body weight and having more body weight gain than that of birds feeding on control diet (0% MOLP).
It could be concluded that inclusion of MOLP at 1.5%, 3% and 4.5% in quails diet improved the growth performance than control diet however, the best result on growth performance was shown by the birds fed on 1.5-3% MOLP. Along with these the birds reared under cage system of management showed better growth performance over the deep-litter system of management.
