ABSTRACT
Three experiments were conducted to estimate the optimal digestible threonine to lysine ratios (ThrLys) of meat-type quails during the pre-starter (1 to 7 days), starter (8 to 14 days) and grower I (15 to 21 days) phases. In each experiment, 600 birds were distributed according to a completely randomized experimental design into five treatments, consisting of five dietary ThrLys ratios (0.66, 0.71, 0.76, 0.81 and 0.86%), with eight replicates of 15 quails each. Performance parameters and intestinal morphology were evaluated. During the pre-starter phase, feed intake, threonine intake, weight gain, and ileal villus height linearly increased (p 0.01) as dietary digestible ThrLys increased. During the starter phase, increasing digestible ThrLys ratios had a linear effect (p 0.01) on threonine intake and livability, and linear and quadratic effects (p 0.01) on feed intake. During the grower I phase, increasing digestible ThrLys ratios promoted linear increase in threonine intake and feed conversion ratio (p 0.05), and a linear decrease in weight gain. The estimated digestible ThrLys ratios recommended for meat-type quails are 0.85, 0.73 and 0.66%, for the pre-starter, starter and grower I phases, respectively.
