Omelian A. Growth, digestibility of feed and meat productivity of quails at different levels and ratios of arginine and lysine in mixed fodders

Feeding of mixed fodder to quails, which are grown for meat (aged 1–35 days), with a level of lysine is 1,7 %, arginine is 1,66 % and a ratio of 1:0,98 to contributes to an increase of live weight on 2,6 %, average daily growth on 2,7 %, еxit of edible parts on 1,5 %, mass before slaughter on 3 % and decrease of feed costs by 1 kg of growth by 1,1 %. Feeding of mixed fodder to quails with a levels of lysine is 1,76 %, arginine is 1,72 % (aged 1–21 days) and a levels of lysine is 1,29 %, arginine is 1,26 % (aged 22–35 days) with ratio of this amino acids of 1:0,98 to contributes to an increase of live weight on 1,2 %, average daily growth on 1,1 % and decrease of feed costs by 1 kg of growth by 0,6 %. We recommend to provide in mixed fodders for young quails from 1 to 35-day of age the content of arginine is 1,66 % and lysine is 1,7 %. For differentiated valuation from 1 to 21-day of age the content of arginine is 1,72 % and lysine is 1,76 %, from 22 to 35-day of age the content of arginine is 1,26 % and lysine is 1,29 %. The ratio of arginine to lysine should be 0,98:1.
