This study was conducted to compare live weight, feed intake, feed
conversion, mortality rate, and some carcass characteristics of Japanese
quails reared under organic and conventional conditions. A total of 180
one-day-old quail chicks were randomly divided into six groups.
Conventional, consuming conventional feed ad libitum; Control (C),
consuming organic feed ad libitum; C+P, consuming organic feed ad
libitum + pasture; 80C+P, consuming 80\% of control + pasture; 70C+P,
consuming 70\% of control +pasture; and 50C+P, consuming 50\% of control
+ pasture. with three replicates. The conventional group was kept for 6
weeks, while the control, C+P, 80C+P, 70C+P, and 50C+P groups were
reared until the end of 10 weeks of age. Raising systems significantly
affected live weight, feed intake, and feed conversion. The analysis
showed that the meat yield of quail raised in organic conditions had
better results than those raised in conventional conditions in terms of
appearance, color, aroma, and flavor. The group consuming 50\% of
control plus pasture was more advantageous than the other organic groups
and the conventional group at the end of the 10-week fattening period.
The organic production system can be a good system to meet the demand of
consumers who seek more natural products.
