The growth performance of rock partridge (alectoris graeca) fed the diets with different protein level

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effects ol different protein levels on growth characteristics in rock partridges. A total of 279 partridges were used in this study. Partridges were fed the diets with 16. 20 . 24. 28 % CP in 0-5 weeks. (Group I. II. ill. IV), and 14. 18, 22. 24 % CP in 6-9 weeks. At the end ol the research, live weight in groups were found to be 282.02, 333.38, 357.75 and 372.10 g respectively (P<0.001). As a result, depend on the increase of protein level in diets live weight and feed efficiency were increased.
