Abstract
A study was performed to evaluate the effect of adding dietary enzyme on performance of Japanese Quails. A total
number of two hundred and forty (240) healthy Japanese quails (14 days old) of both sexes were arranged into four
dietary groups. The first group of chick was considered as control and fed the basal diet without supplementation of
any dietary enzyme; second group was fed basal diet supplemented with 0.5g Kemzyme plus dry®/kg diet, third group
was fed basal diet supplemented with 0.1g phytase/kg diet, fourth group was fed on basal diet supplemented with
Kemzyme® plus phytase. No significant difference was observed in feed conversion ratio. In the period from 14 to 42
days of age, there was significant (P
