Popis: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of inclusion of different feed oil sources rich in omega-3 fatty acids on the production performance of Japanese quail. The feeding trial was conducted in 360 numbers of day old Japanese quail broiler chicks for five weeks (0 - 5 week) with different oil sources-Palm oil - PO, Linseed oil-LO and Sardine Fish oil-SO with various inclusion levels of different sources of omega-3 fatty acids (T1-PO 4%; T2 LO 4%:T3 LO 3% + SO 1%; T4 LO 2% +SO 2%; T5 LO 1% + SO 3%; T6 SO 4%) with six replicates with ten birds in each replicate. All the diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Different oil sources (palm oil/linseed oil/sardine oil) in the Japanese quails ration had no significant effect on average daily gain, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency
