Effect of Camelina [Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz] dietary inclusion on quails growth performance and carcass traits.

The present study tested the effect of a dietary inclusion with Camelina sativa (CAM) on the productive performance and meat quality traits of broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Six-hundred 15 day-old quails (50:50 male:female) were randomly allocated into 60 battery cages and assigned to 5 different dietary treatments (12 replicated cages/diet): a control diet (K) which was a commercial feed for growing-fattening quails, a diet where soy-bean oil of the K diet was replaced (100%) by CAM oil (O), and three diets where the 15% CAM cake of 3 different varieties (commercial Calena-C, reduced glucosinolates content-A, low linoleic acid content-P) was included into the K diet.
