Abstract: ARCON, CLIFFTON P. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 1999. GROWTH AND INITIAL EGG PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF QUAIL (Coturnix, coturrnix) SUBJECTED TO FOUR FEEDING REGIMES. Adviser : Dr. Magdalena. N. Alcantara. A total of 120 two-week old female quails was distributed into four treatments replicated three times with ten quails per replication using Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to determine the effect of four feeding regimes on their growth and egg production performances. The treatments were as follows: Treatment I Ad libitum feeding Treatment II 12 hours on feed - 12 hours off feed Treatment III - Skip — a — day feeding Treatment IV - 8 hours on feed — 8 hours off feed — 8 hours on feed Results revealed that adlibitum fed birds were significantly (P < 0.05) heavier than the quails in the other treatments at six weeks up to seven weeks of age. There were slight and not significant differences (P>0.05) noted in total feed consumption of quails subjected to the four feeding regimes. No significant (P> 0.05) differences were observed in the feed conversion efficiency of quails during the growing periods. Skip-a-day fed birds required more feeds to produce dozen of eggs. Ad libitum fed birds produced more eggs than those in other treatments. Mortality occurred in the restricted birds (Treatments II, III and IV)
