Özet:

 Constraints to Guinea fowl Numida meleagris production include poor growth and low laying performance. However, the lack of standard nutritional requirements significantly hinders commercial indigenous Guinea fowl production in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the proper levels of crude protein 14, 16, and 18 and metabolizable energy 2.65, 2.75, and 2.85 Mcalkg in the diets of native Guinea fowl in Nigeria. The dietary protein PL and energy EL levels for the fowl were evaluated in a completely randomized 3 PL  3 EL factorial design with three replicates of 10 birds each. Thus, 270 birds with 20 weeks of age were allocated randomly to nine dietary treatments 18P:2.65E, 18P:2.75E, 18P:2.85E, 16P:2.65E, 16P:2.75E, 16P:2.85E, 14P:2.65E, 14P:2.75E and 14P:2.85E. The PL  EL interaction affected Guinea fowls DFI, DWG, and WWG p0.05, while WFI and FCR remained unaffected. The 16:2.85E diet increased the DFI of the birds compared to other diets p0.05. The DFI of the 18:2.65, 18:2.75, and 16:2.75E Guinea fowls was higher than those of 18:2.85E, 14:2.65E, 14:2.75E, and 14:2.85 birds p0.05. The DWG of fowls improved by the 16:2.85E diet compared to other diets, except for the 18P:2.65E and 16P:2.75E diets p0.05. The interaction had a significant impact on the EN, EYH, and EM of the Guinea fowl egg while FCR remained unaffected. The 18P:2.85E diet improved the EN and EM of the birds compared to other diets p0.05, The 18P:2.85E also improved the FCR for laying except for 14P:2.85E and 18P:2.75E. The 18P:2.85E diet influenced the YW of the birds compared to other diets p0.05, whereas the EW of fowls improved by the 16:2.85E diet compared to other diets except for the 16P:2.65E diet p0.05. In conclusion, feeding guinea fowls with a diet comprising 18 protein and 2.85 Mcalkg metabolizable energy significantly improved egg production and quality.
