    abstract = {A 6 week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of raw <I>Vicia peregrina</I> seed as a possible protein source in the diet of Japanese quail (<I>Coturnix coturnix japonica</I>) and identify the limitations to its use arising from palatability or apparent toxicity factors. At the end of experiment the body weight of Japanese quails ranged from 167.1 and 208.4 g and live weight of quails fed diets A and B were significantly (p<0.001) higher than those fed with diet C and D. Feed intake, Body Weight Gain (BWG), Feed Conversion Rate (FCR), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and the carcass weight of Japanese quail chick fed with diets A and B was significantly (p<0.001) higher than those fed with diets C and D whereas there is no significant (p>0.05) differences among diets in terms of Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER). There are no significant (p>0.05) differences among diets in terms of percentage of DP, heart and liver whereas the percentage of gizzard of Japanese quails fed diet with A and B was significantly lower than those fed diets C and D. As a conclusion <I>Vicia peregrine </I>seed has potential as an alternative feed ingredient and can be used up to 10% of diet as protein source in diets of Japanese quails without any adverse effects. <I>Vicia peregrina </I>seed should be processed if inclusion rate exceeded 10% of diet.}
