English Abstract
An experiment was conducted to comparable among three lines of local quails.
This study included 300 one day old quail chicks were randomly distributed to three treatments (T1: Black, T2: white and T3: Brown) lines local quail and five replicates.
The brown line quails had significantly higher (p<0.05) in body weight, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) at week 5th.
Body weight, egg production percentage (H.D%), egg mass, FCR, oviduct relative weight, sexual maturity age, economic profit, egg weight, Haugh unit, eggshell thickness and yolk index were higher (p<0.05) in brown than other lines at 15 week of age.
Testes relative weight, ejaculate volume, sperms concentration, live normal morphology sperm and sperm quality factor in male brown line were higher (p<0.05) from other experiment groups.
The brown line quails had higher (p<0.05) percentages of; fertility, hatching of fertile and total eggs, chicks weight.
However the percentage of non-fertile eggs, early, late and total dead embryos and disabled chicks percentage were lower in white quails than others.
Among the measured hematic-biochemical parameters; total RBC account, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV) percentage, total protein, Growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) concentrations, immunological ELISA titer against Newcastle disease (ND) and Gamboro disease (IBD) were higher in brown than black and white lines, thus improved in H/L ratio in brown quails.
The results demonstrated that the brown quail line had productive and physiological achieves.
