Three experiments were conducted to determine the optimum protein and energy levels for finishing broiler chickens in a tropical environment. Dietary protein levels (20, 23 and 26 percent) and energy levels (2800, 3000 and 3200 Kcal/kg diet) tested had no significant effects on performance of finishing chickens fed fishmeal-containing rations. Rations based on cereals and groundnut meal, without fishmeal, did not support maximum liveweight gain and feed efficiency at dietary protein levels below 26 percent. Dietary treatments had no significant effects on carcass dressing percentages. Based on the present results, a protein level of 20 percent(for fishmeal containing rations) and 23 or 26 percent (for rations based on groundnut meal without fishmeal) and energy levels of 2800 to 3000 Kcal/Kg diet are tentatively recommended for finishing broiler chickens raised in a tropical country like Nigeria.

A total of one thousand and eighty (1080) unsexed day-old quail chicks with an average initial weight of 7.68±0.39g were used in a feeding trial to determine the growth response of quail chicks fed iso-nitrogenous rations to various dietary energy levels in Nigerian (tropical) environment. Six iso-nitrogenous (26% CP) diets containing 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900 and 3000 Kcal/kg ME were used in a complete randomized design, respectively for the study. The birds were fed feed and water ad libitum for 6 weeks at the end of which 10 birds from each replicate were randomly selected for carcass analysis. There were significant (P<0.05) differences in the final live weight, weight gain, cost per gain and age at 1 egg across dietary treatments. Feed, intake decreased non-significantly (P>0.05) as the level of energy increased in the diets. Total protein, Haemoglobin, packed cell volume, red blood cell and white blood cell were non significantly (P>0.05) affected by dietary treatments and were within the normal range for quails. The cholesterol level however, increased non-significantly (P>0.05) as the level of dietary energy increased. Except for the carcass weight and abdominal fat, the carcass parameters were not significantly (P>0.05) affected by the dietary treatments. It was concluded that a dietary energy level of 2800 Kcal/kg ME, will be adequate for optimum performance of quail chicks under the condition of this experiment
