Sažetak
The effect of Ascogen, a biogenic performance enhanced on growth, carcass composition, feed intake and feed efficiency of 600 mixed sex Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was investigated. The quails were fed with a basal diet (25% CP and 13,2 MJ/kg ME) (control) and a basal diet supplemented with 500 ppm and 1000 ppm Ascogen, from 1 till 35 days of age. The supplementation of 1000 ppm Ascogen to the quail diet increased the body weight at 28 days of age (P<0.05), increased final body weight (P<0.05), decreased the feed consumption by 3.61%, improved feed conversion by 7.24%, increased carcass weight by 5.30% (P<0.05), carcass yield by 2.85% (P<0.01), wings weight by 19.8% (P<0.01) and weight of drumsticks by 5.34% (P<0.05) compared to the control group. The addition of 500 ppm of Ascogen to the diet of quails increased final body weight by 4.56 grams, improved feed conversion by 1.24%, increased carcass weight by 1.89% and carcass weight by 1.89% and carcass yield by 3.10% (P<0.01) compared to the control group.
