| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out to compare two strains of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) which were brown and white in production parameters during the first egg production period . A total of 75 day old chicks of each strains distributed into three replicates (25 birds per replicate) and reared at 2 m3 metallic cages .The data obtained revealed that brown quail significantly (P<0.05) predominant in the average live body weight which it were 191.7 and 181.3 gm for brown and white quail respectively , also brown quail significantly (P<0.05) predominant in the average of feed intake which it were 647.3 and 619.3 gm for brown and white quail respectively , and significantly (P<0.05) predominant in the average of egg weight which it were 11.01 and 11.01 gm for brown and white quail respectively , and significantly (P<0.05) predominant in the average of egg mass which it were 304.5 and 288.2 gin for brown and white quail respectively , while no statistically differences appeared in feed conversion and egg production | ||
