Abstract

This work aimed to study the effect of dietary amino acid lysine supplementation on growth performance and activity of the digestive enzymes in the intestine in quail diets. A total of 180 one-day-old Japanese quail were divided into four groups, each with 45 chicks and 3 replications. The experiment was performed for 42 days. Group one was control, and those 2, 3 and 4 were fed a basic diet with amino acid lysine added at concentrations of 0.5, 0.9 and 1.03%, respectively. The results showed a significant improvement in the growth performance in terms of body weight and feed conversion ratio in quail birds. A significant activity of the intestinal digestive enzymes of amylase and lipase was also observed in the treated birds. We concluded that dietary lysine supplementation at a rate of 0.9 to 1.03% enhances the growth performance and as the activity of digestive enzymes of amylase and lipase in raising quail birds.
