Abstract

The research work was carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary incorporation of acid treated fish silage on the performance and carcass characteristics of broiler Japanese quails. A total of 192, one-week-old broiler Japanese quail chicks of either sex were randomly distributed into four dietary treatment groups with four replicates in each. The dietary treatments were supplied with standard broiler Japanese quail diet containing T1-0% fish silage (Control diet), T2- diet incorporated with 5% fish silage, T3 - diet incorporated with 10% fish silage and T4- diet incorporated with 15% fish silage. The weekly body weight, body weight gain, weekly feed consumption were statistically significant (P
