Abstract

 This work was conducted to study the effect of sun dried tomato pomace (SDTP) with or without enzymes supplementation on economic efficiency of laying Japanese quail. A total of 144 forty-five days-old female Japanese quails were used. The hens were randomly allocatted into 6 groups (24 hens per each group which subdivided into 3 replicates each one contains 8females.). Group 1 was fed on the basal diet (BD) (control), group 2 were fed on the BD containing AveMix® 02 CS enzyme 0.2g/kg diet. While hens of group 3 were fed BD containing 2.5% SDTP). Group 4 received BD containing 2.5% SDTP with AveMix® 02 CS enzyme. Group 5 received BD containing 5% SDTP. Group 6 received BD containing 5% SDTP with AveMix® 02 CS enzyme. From the obtained results it was observed that, the increasing 2.5% SDTP resulted in an increase of egg mass by 11.08%.  In addition to, enzymes addition leads to increasing weight of egg mass and decrease of TC by 0.82%.
