EVALUATION OF QUAIL EGGS UNDER THE EFFECT OF THE USE OF VITAMINS FOR ITS ADAPTATION TO THE HUMID TROPICS

Quail is a macroscopic cell product of ovulation, has an ovoid shape and is covered by a shell and membranes that protects the albumine which surrounds the yolk, the objective of this research is to determine the effect caused by the use of vitamin B, ADE and observe the adaptability of quails to the wet tropics and egg characteristics. Methodology, for which 140 female quails and 20 males were used distributed in four treatments and five repetitions whose results were analyzed under an additive linear model where: Yij: is the estimated value of the variable, is the general mean, : the effect of vitamins and ; the Yij =μ+τ_i+ϵ_ijexperimental μτ_i ϵ_ijerror; In addition, from Tukey's post Hot test (p0.05) to determine the best treatment, the experimental units were randomly distributed and managed under controlled conditions in cages with feeders and drinkers, with a controlled sanitary system and feed supply. Results; The characteristics of the egg such as transverse diameter, longitudinal diameter, weight, volume, bulk density, weight of the shell, weight of the yolk plus albumin and thickness of the CáscarA when applying the control treatment exceeded the alternative treatments (ADE and B protein), whose behavior was when evaluating yolk and albumin. Therefore, it is concluded that quails at the level of humid tropics in the Morona canton do not require additional vitamin supplementation to that available in food..
