| Abstract | ||||
| The research was carried out in poultry farm, department of Animal production, College of Agriculture and forestry, university of Mosul / Mosul / Iraq. Experimental treatments include two factors, strain of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and dried bread waste levels with interaction between them. The first factor includes desert and white strain, while the second factor include 5 levels of dried bread waste that is 0, 12, 24, 36 and 48% from total ration, the interaction between last factors was studied in this research. The research divided in to two stages: grower stage (1-35 days), 600 birds of Japanese quail (300 birds / strain) randomly distributed in 5 treatments group with 3 replicates for each treatment and 20 birds in each replicate. Layer stage (42-101days), 240 quail females (120 female / strain) randomly distributed in 5 treatments with 3 replicates for each treatment and 8 quail females in each replicate. Feed and water according by ad-libitum all research period. Statistical analysis in grower stage showed no significant differences (p≤ 0.05) for strain, dried bread waste levels and their interaction on body weight, weight gain, mortality percent, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, carcass weight and edible giblets. While significant effect (p≤ 0.05) found on water intake and dressing percent for dried bread waste levels and interaction between strain and dried bread waste levels. The best net revenue (ID / Kg live weight) for desert quail strain, 48% dried bread waste and interaction between desert quail strain and 48% dried bread waste. In the layer stage: the results of statistical analysis showed also no significant effect (p≤ 0.05) on all treatments and all factors, except yolk color that has significant effect (p≤ 0.05) for dried bread waste level. The best net revenue record for white quail strain, 48% dried bread waste level and interaction for strain with 48% dried bread waste | ||||
