BookPublisher: 2006Subject(s): Department of Livestock ProductionDDC classification: 0949,T Dissertation note: A total of 30 experimental breeding pairs, comprising each of 30 female and male quails were taken at the age of 6 weeks. Every pair was placed in individual breeding compartments in French made 5 tiers multidec having a dimension of (30x20x15 cm) battery cage. These 30 pairs were taken from five different stocks i.e., Sadat, Kaleem, Aabid, Zahid quail farms (local) and Major Saeed (imported hybrid stock from Washington State, USA.). The results of the present study regarding productive performance showed that, the mean male body weight differed significantly among different inbred and imported stocks. The male body weight (182±6.059) of imported stock was significantly (p ?0.01) higher than those of the other local inbred stocks. The mean female body weight showed significant differences among different inbred stocks. The female body weight (199.03±7.49) of imported stock was significantly (p ?0.01) higher than those of the other local inbred stocks. However results on egg production %, egg mass, feed intake of male and female birds, FCR (gm)/dozen egg and FCR gm/gm egg mass, were found to differ non-significantly among different local inbred and imported hybrid stocks.
Among egg quality characteristics, the results on mean shell thickness showed significant difference among different inbred and imported hybrid stocks. The shell thickness (0.195±0.004) of group L1 was significantly (p ?0.05) thicker than those of the others. However, the results on egg weight, Haugh unit and yolk index showed non-significant difference in local inbred and imported hybrid stocks.
The results on hatching traits showed non-significant difference among different groups regarding hatchability, fertility, dead germ and dead in shell percent.
