Abstract

This work was conducted to study the effect of sun dried tomato pomace (SDTP) with or without enzymes supplementation economic efficiency of Japanese quail. A total number of 306 sevendays-old quail chicks were used. The quail chicks were randomly allocated into 6 groups (51 unsexed chicks per group). Group 1 was fed on the basal diet (BD) without enzymes supplementation (control), quail chicks of group 2 were fed on the BD containing AveMix® 02 CS enzyme 0.02g/kg diet. While quail chicks of group 3 were fed BD containing 2.5% DTP). Group 4 received BD containing with 2.5% SDTP with Ave Mix® 02 CS enzyme. Group 5 received BD containing 5% SDTP. Group 6 received BD containing 5% SDTP with Ave Mix® 02 CS enzyme. Our results clarified that, the increasing (5%) SDTP to diet resulted in an increase of final weight by 29.36%. Also, increasing body weight resulted in an increase of total cost by 0.55% in case of 2.5% SDTP group.
