Abstract

Total number of 315 mixed sex, 7th days -old Japanese quail chicks which were randomly distributed in a complete randomized block design into 7 dietary treatments of 45 birds each, with three replicates containing 15 birds each. Treatment 1 was fed a control diet, treatments 2, 3, 4were fed on AWSP while treatments 5, 6 and 7 were fed diets contain TWSP. Both AWSP and TWSP were added at levels of 8, 10 and 12% of the total protein in the diets. Obviously, the results indicated that the birds fed on diets contained 10, 8, and 12% TWSP and 8% AWSP showed a significant (p ≤ 0.05) increase in body weight and body weight gain compared to other dietary treatments and the control group.In general, and based on the present results, it was found that Japanese quail diets supplemented with TWSP or AWSP was completely safe without any negative effects on the productive performance or physiological parameters. This can be judged by health status, where no mortality or disorders in physiological parameters of treated birds were observed.
