| dc.description.abstract | The effects of inclusion of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% millet in replacement of maize in the diets of quail chicks on growth and nutrient utilization were studied in a five-week feeding trial. One hundred and eighty (180) one-week old (unsexed) Japanese quail chicks having a mean initial weight of 27.61g ± 0.14 were used in a completely randomized design.Daily feed intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and digestibility of nutrients were statistically similar across the treatment groups (P>0.05). Dietary inclusion of millet reduced the cost of producing 1kg of feed. Therefore, millet can be used to replace maize at 100% inclusion level in the diets of quail chicks without any deleterious effect. | en_US |
