Nutritional compositions of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) breed lines raised on a basal poultry ration under farm conditions in Ruwa, Zimbabwe

Proximate composition experiments were conducted to determine nutritional compositions of eggs from three Japanese quail breeds (Jumbo Pharaoh, A&M giant and Manchurian golden) raised under farm conditions in Zimbabwe. Crude protein (analysis of variance (ANOVA), F 2, 33  = 4.13, p = 0.02) and c...

Zusammenfassung:Proximate composition experiments were conducted to determine nutritional compositions of eggs from three Japanese quail breeds (Jumbo Pharaoh, A&M giant and Manchurian golden) raised under farm conditions in Zimbabwe. Crude protein (analysis of variance (ANOVA), F 2, 33  = 4.13, p = 0.02) and crude fat (ANOVA F 2, 33  = 7.14, p = 0.00) were significantly different among the three breeds. Total ash (one-way ANOVA, F 2, 33  = 3.20, p = 0.05) was marginally significantly different whilst crude fibre (ANOVA F 2, 33  = 1.05, p = 0.36) did not vary significantly among the quail breeds. Tukey's post hoc tests revealed significant variation (p
