| Popis: | Four hundred 3 weeks old finisher Japanese quails (Cortunix cortunix japonica) were used to investigate the effect Maxigrain enzyme supplementation on dressing percentage, carcass cut and percent ® organ weights fed sugarcane scrapping meal-based diets. The birds were randomly allotted to 6 experimental diets tagged T10, T 10100, T10200, T15, T 15100 and T15200 which were compounded to b e isonitrogenous (23% crude protein) and isocaloric (2900Kcal/Kg ME). Treatments T10, T 10100 and T10200 contained 10% crude fibre (low fibre level) while treatments T15, T15100 and T15200 contained 15% crude fibre level (high fibre level). The enzyme was included at 0, 100 and 200ppm thus, treatments T10 and T15 contained 0ppm, T10100 and T15100 contained 100ppm and T10200 and T15200 contained 200ppm of th e enzyme such that treatments T10 and T15 served as the control for treatments T10100 and T10200 and T15100 and T15200 for low and high fibre diets, respectively. The birds were randomly allocated to the treatments at the rate of 80 birds per diet; each treatment was replicated 4 times in a 3×2 factorial arrangement. At the end of the 3 weeks feeding trial, 10 female birds per treatment were randomly selected according to average group weight, slaughtered and their carcasses evaluated. All the parameters evaluated were not at variance (P>0.05) across the dietary treatment groups except for back (22.52 vs. 24.32 and 21.62%), neck (7.78 vs. 10.24 and 7.49%) and gastrointestinal tract (8.44 vs. 10.84 and 12.22%) which was significantly (P |
