This study was performed on 80 male 14-day-old Coturnix coturnix japonica breed quails. The quails were divided into 8 groups with 10 animals in each as 1 control and 7 trial groups. While the control group was fed a commercial basal ration, groups 2-8 received, respectively, 2.5 g/kg feed hydrate sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS), 5.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, 10.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, 2.5 ppm aflatoxin (AF B_1 78.30%, AF B_2 14.60%, AF G_1 4.50%, AF G_2 2.60%); 2.5 ppm AF with 2.5 g/kg feed HSCAS, 2.5 ppm AF with 5.0 g/kg feed HSCAS, and 2.5 ppm AF with 10.0 g/kg …

Metabolism and growth trials were conducted to study true digestible methionine (tMet) and lysine (tLys) requirements for growing Lohmann egg-type cockerels and to evaluate the effects of 2 dietary tMet levels and 4 tLys levels in a factorial arrangement on growth, nitrogen balance and serum biochemical indices. In the metabolism trial, 20 caecectomised and anus-stitch-surgery healthy adult male birds were used to determine the true digestibility of Met and Lys. In the growth trial, 30 Lohmann egg-type cockerels were allocated to each of 32 floor pens (total 960 birds). During the 0-6 week starting period, 2 levels of tMet (0.37, …
