AVALIAÇÃO DO RENDIMENTO DE CARCAÇA DE CODORNAS PARA CORTE ALIMENTADAS COM DIETAS COM DIFERENTES NÍVEIS PROTÉICOS
An experiment has been carried out aiming
to evaluate the carcass yield of male and female meat
quails fed with diets containing 20, 22, 24, and 26% of
crude protein (CP), respectively, all of them displaying
the same caloric and lysine levels. A total of 960 quails
were used in a completely randomized design, with a
factorial of 2 genders and 4 levels of CP, totalizing 8
treatments with 4 replicates of 30 birds each. Carcass
yield was evaluated at the end of 49 days of the beginning
of the experiment. The levels of CP used in this trial did
not display any significant effect on most of the studied
parameters. It has been observed an interaction (p < 0.05)
for the yield of edible viscera, with females fed with 22%
CP displaying higher averages than those fed with 24%
CP. There was no effect on the protein levels upon males.
Body and carcass weights and non-edible viscera yield
were higher in females, while carcass and post chilling
yields were higher in males (P < 0.05).Utilizaram-se 960 codornas, distribuídas
num delineamento inteiramente aleatorizado com
esquema fatorial de 2 sexos x 4 níveis de proteína
bruta (PB), sendo as dietas isocalóricas e isolisínicas,
num total de 8 tratamentos com 4 repetições de 30
aves cada, para avaliar o rendimento de carcaça de
codornas para corte, machos e fêmeas, alimentadas
com rações contendo 20%, 22%, 24% e 26% PB,
de 1 a 49 dias. Os níveis de proteína bruta não
afetaram significativamente a maioria das variáveis
estudadas. Os pesos vivo e de carcaça e o
rendimento de vísceras não comestíveis foram
superiores nas fêmeas; o rendimentos de carcaça e
o rendimento resfriado foram superiores nos machos
