An experiment was conducted to determine nutritional calcium requirement of 360 Japanese female quails averaging initial weight of 121.5 g during the initial production phase (from 56 to 171 days of age). A complete randomized design with a 6 x 4 factorial arrangement (six Ca levels: 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 2.8, 3.2, and 3.6% and four experimental periods of 28 days each) was used. Each treatment consisted of six replicates and a cage with ten birds, that was the experimental unit. […]
