Özet

The present study was conducted to determine the effects of 3 different levels of probiotic on hatchability of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). In this study, 225 female Japanese quails were used. The experimental quails were divided into 3 dietary treatment groups of similar mean weight comprising 75 birds each, which was divided into 3 subgroups of 25 birds each. Treatment groups were assigned control group A (unsupplemented diet), group B (0.5 kg/tonne commercial probiotic supplemented diet) and group C (1.0 kg/tonne commercial probiotic supplemented diet) for 5 weeks.
