Resumo
The production performance of Japanese quails receiving increasing levels of pearl millet
grain in rations was studied. Two hundred, 70dayold
quails submitted to a completely
randomized design with five treatments and four replicates with ten birds each, were fed with
0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of pearl millet grain in laying rations. The production and weight of
eggs and the feed intake, the mortality rate and yolk color by the use of colorimetric fan were
measured, and the feed conversion per dozen eggs and in relation to egg mass were
calculated. The results indicated that the production performance of laying quails was not
affected by the use of increasing levels of pearl millet grain and that pearl millet is a good
corn substitute for Japanese quail, but a yolk pigment should be used in the ration.
