Popis: This experiment investigated the effects of varying crude protein levels (CPL) supplemented with or without Turmeric Rhizome Powder (TRP) on laying performance and egg quality of Japanese quails. A total of one hundred and ninety two 10-weeks-old laying Japanese quails were randomly distributed into six dietary treatment groups (3 x 2 experimental arrangement) with four replicates per group (8 birds per replicate) in a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments were: A (24%CP), B (21%CP), C (18%CP) without TRP while D, E and F contains 24%CP+0.5%TRP, 21%CP + 0.5%TRP and 18%CP + 0.5%TRP, respectively. Data were taken on productive performance, egg quality and egg proportions for 10 weeks. The main effect showed that quails on 24 and 21% CPL diet had elevated (P0.05) by CPL or TPL. It was concluded that TRP supplementation influenced HDP, increased revenue with 21% CPL diet and enhanced egg yolk colour.
