The effects of choice feeding for calcium carbonate on performance characteristics of Japanese layer quails

Quail was included in the study at the age of twenty-four weeks. In the study, the birds were given standard quail feed. The study was conducted in multi-lattice cages.. In the study, the birds were given standard quail feed. In the study, the birds were given standard quail feed. The birds were placed individually in each section, YV and YT were determined individually. Free feeding and drinking water were applied in the study. Trial model: I. Control: Calcium carbonate has been added to the rations of quails. II. Treatment Group : Calcium carbonate was not added to the rations of the quails in this group. Calcium carbonate is presented as free. The study consisted of fifteen birds in the treatment groups and fifteen birds in the control group. Thirty birds were examined in the study. One of the groups had a ration containing calcium carbonate consisted of fifteen birds in the treatment groups and fifteen birds in the control group. The quails in the trial consisted of fifteen birds in the treatment groups and fifteen birds in the control group.. The quailhouse where the study was conducted was automatically ventilated and a standard lighting regime was performed. The values were evaluated every seven days. The study lasted twenty-eight days. According to the study results; The differences observed between the control and treatment groups in terms of egg production parameters were not found to be statistically significant, and calcium carbonate consumption and manure calcium content were found to be statistically significant (p<0,05).
