Mg. Neto et al., NUTRITIONAL-REQUIREMENTS OF PHEASANTS DUR ING THE REPRODUCTIVE PERIOD.1. PRODUCTIVE PARAMETERS, Pesquisa agropecuaria brasileira, 30(6), 1995, pp. 737-744
This experiment with breeeder-type ringneck pheasants to study nutriti
onal requirements was conducted on a form located at Serra Azul, SP, B
razil. One hundred and eight matrices, distributed in 18 boxes were ut
ilized. The statistical delineation was entirely at random, with a fac
torial arrangement with three repetitions in which the effect of three
levels of protein (18%), 20% and 22%) and two levels of methionine cystine (7% and 9%) was studied. The results showed that the level of
22% raw protein with 7% methionine + cystine may be recommended for th
e diet of pheasants in the reproductive period.
