This study aims to evaluate the effects of golden apple snail meal (GASM) on Japanese quails' laying performance and egg quality. Sixty quails were divided into four groups: a control with 0% GASM and three groups with 1%, 2%, and 3% GASM supplementation. The main variables monitored over five weeks were feed intake, egg production, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and egg quality. The results showed that feed intake was higher in the control group and decreased with higher levels of GASM, with no significant differences observed at week 5. Egg production remained consistent across all groups, indicating that GASM supplementation did not impact overall egg production. FCR also showed no significant differences, suggesting that feed efficiency was not affected by GASM levels. However, egg quality improved with GASM supplementation: eggs from the 1% and 2% GASM groups had greater weight, shell thickness, and yolk weight than the control. The 2% GASM level also resulted in larger egg dimensions. Therefore, GASM supplementation reduced feed intake but did not negatively affect egg production or feed conversion efficiency; it also improved eggs' external and internal qualities, particularly at lower supplementation levels. Thus, GASM may be a beneficial alternative ingredient for improving egg quality in quail farming.

Desempenho de postura e qualidade dos ovos de codorna japonesa
alimentada com farinha de Pomacea canaliculata como suplemento alimentar
RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da farinha de caracol maçã dourada (GASM) no desempenho da postura e na qualidade dos ovos de codornas japonesas. Sessenta codornas foram divididas em quatro grupos: um controle com 0% de GASM e três grupos com suplementação de 1%, 2% e 3% de GASM. As principais variáveis monitoradas ao longo de cinco semanas foram o consumo de ração, a produção de ovos, a taxa de conversão alimentar (FCR) e a qualidade dos ovos. Os resultados mostraram que o consumo de ração foi maior no grupo controle e diminuiu com níveis mais altos de GASM, sem diferenças significativas observadas na semana 5. A produção de ovos permaneceu consistente em todos os grupos, indicando que a suplementação de GASM não impactou a produção geral de ovos. A FCR também não mostrou diferenças significativas, sugerindo que a eficiência alimentar não foi afetada pelos níveis de GASM. No entanto, a qualidade dos ovos melhorou com a suplementação de GASM: os ovos dos grupos com 1% e 2% de GASM apresentaram maior peso, espessura da casca e peso da gema do que o controle. O nível de 2% de GASM também resultou em dimensões maiores dos ovos. Por conseguinte, a suplementação com GASM reduziu o consumo de ração, mas não afetou negativamente a produção de ovos ou a eficiência da conversão alimentar; e ainda, melhorou diversas qualidades externas e internas dos ovos, particularmente em níveis mais baixos de suplementação. Dessa forma, o GASM pode ser um ingrediente alternativo benéfico para melhorar a qualidade dos ovos na codornicultura.
