| Abstract | ||
| Barley seeds were germinated for zero, 24,36,48,60 and 72 hours. Results showed that there are no significant differences in barley's composition (crude protein, ether extract, ash, and total carbohydrate). This study was carried to find out the effect of germination in improving the nutritional value of barley as compared with treated and non treated barley in Japanese Quail's ration at two levels : 40% and 60% when substituted with yellow corn. Received 300 birds of Japanese quail at 7 weeks on five experimental diets for 12 weeks with three replicates (20birds/rep). The (1&2) diets were had 40% & 60% of untreated barley while the (3 & 4) diets were include 40% & 60% of germinated barley. While the fifth diet were used as control. The results revealed that asignificant differences (P<0.05) among birds fed germinated barley, and those fed untreated barley egg weight, eggs production and food conversion ratio, in that favoring germinated barley at both levels mentioned above. | ||
