Sodium levels in food of Japanese quail in the laying phase
Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective to evaluate the effect of different levels of sodium in the diet of Japanese quails. Were used 360 Japanese quail, with initial age of 120 days, distributed in a completely randomized block, with six treatments, six replications and 10 birds per experimental unit. For formation of experimental diets were added to basal diet 0,000%; 0,126%, 0,252%, 0,378%, 0,504% and 0,630% common salt in replacement of the inert material, in order to obtain levels of 0,05%; 0,10%; 0,15%; 0,20%, 0,25% and 0,30% sodium constituting the treatments, diets were isoproteics, isocaloric and isocalcium. The experimental period was 84 days divided into four periods of 21 days. The parameters evaluated were feed intake, egg production, egg weight, egg mass, final weight and feed conversion per egg mass. Was observed quadratic effect on feed intake, egg production, egg mass, final weight and feed conversion per egg mass and linear effect for egg weight. The sodium level for Japanese quails is 0,208% with respect to an intake of 5,4g of sodium per day.
