Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to determine the posibilities use of supplementing breeder diets with different level concentrations (C: 0, BPP1: 1, BPP5: 5, BPP10: 10, and BPP20: 20 g/kg feed) of the bee pollen powder (BPP) effect on performance and hatching egg quality characteristics in Japanese quails. The experimental animals consisted of 9 week old Japanese quails, including 105 females and 45 males, and the experiment continued for six weeks. The results showed higher than control group significant effects of the (BPP) supplementation to quail diets on yolk level (P<0.01), shell thickness, and Haugh unit (P<0.05), but not significant effects as raise or decrease were observed on live gain, consumption feed, feed conversion ratio, egg weight, shape index, yolk index, white index, and shell weight (P>0.05).Taken together, these results can be recommended BPP supplementation of quail diets. Keywords: Bee pollen, feeding, hatching egg quality, Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). DOI: 10.7176/JSTR/6-13-04
