Abstract:	Quail (Cortonix cortonix japonica) meats are delicious, containing less fat and cholesterol thus gaining popularity. However, as quail are fast growing birds they require high quality ration. Two consecutive experiments were conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Parwanipur, Nepal during September - October (2001) to know the effect of supplemental methionine and Lysine with ordinary layer starter ration to the meat production of quail. in the first experiment, birds were raised in two feeding systems. The first one was fed ordinary layer starter ration with 5 percentfish .meal, 125 g methionine and 250 g Lysine per 100 kg of feed, while the other was fed with ordinary layer ration without additional fishmeal, methionine and Lysine. In both cases, birds were raised under deep litter system. Four hundred birds were used in total for the first experiment. In the second, birds were treated for jive dietary treatments with 5 replications. The treatments were: Layer starter ration (Ll)+no methionine & Lysine (Fl), Ll+0.00625 methionine & 0.0125 Lysine (F2), Ll+0.0125 methionine & 0.025 Lysine (F3) and Ll +0. 025 methionine & 0. 05 Lysine (F4) respectively. In the first experiment birds fed with methionine and Lysine supplement had higher body weight gain compared to nonsupplemented group. In the second experiment, higher body weight gain, better feed consumption, efficient utilization of feed for meat and generated higher gross income from Ll +0.0125 methionine & 0. 025 Lysine group compared to other dietmy treatments. Both experiments provided evidence that if methionine and Lysine could be supplemented ordinmy layer starter ration can be used for quail feeding as well without compromising production pe1jormances. However, to determine the better feed efficiency and maximum return plan, research on protein nutrition on quail should be expandedfitrther. Key words: Quail, methionine and Lysine
