Eggs from game pheasants receiving a diet containing 19.0% crude protein and 11.7 MJ ME (control) or 15.0% crude protein and 12.6 MJ ME were studied. Analysis was made of 60 eggs (30 eggs from each group) collected during the 5th week of egg production. Eggs were examined within 24 h of collection. Pheasants receiving the experimental diet laid eggs with lower (P≤0.05) weight (26.3 g), length (42.1 mm) and width (33.5 mm) compared to the eggs from pheasants fed the control diet (30.8 g, 43.8 mm and 35.6 mm, respectively). The eggs from pheasants receiving the experimental feed had shells that were significantly (P≤0.05) lighter (2.5 g), thinner (0.280 mm), weaker (shell deformation 31.3 μm) and smaller in area (42.1 cm2). The eggs had the same percentages of albumen (52.9%) and similar percentages of yolk (37.4 : 37.6%) in both groups, with albumen and yolk weight being significantly lower in eggs from pheasants receiving the experimental diet. The change in diet composition increased the pH (P≤0.05) of fresh egg contents.

The study was carried out with 51 game pheasants derived from parents that were fed during the reproductive period with a commercial feed mixture (25 birds) or feed mixture and whole maize grain (26 birds). Pheasants were kept in a confined facility, without regard to sex, in cages on plastic mesh floor for the first three weeks and in pens on straw later on. During the study, offspring received commercial feed mixtures for pheasants or turkeys. The introduction of whole maize grain in the ration of parent pheasants reduced the body weight of their offspring except at 12 weeks of age. In addition, it caused significant decreases in the length of trunk with neck, lower thigh and shank, and chest circumference in 4-week-old pheasants, and in the length of trunk with neck, trunk and lower thigh in 18-week-old birds. Dressing percentage was high in both groups and exceeded 72%. The proportion of breast muscles was higher in the carcasses of pheasants derived from parents fed a low-protein diet with whole maize grain (31.0 vs. 29.0%). Areverse relationship was found for the proportion of leg muscles in the carcass with neck (23.5 vs. 24.0%). The proportion of skin with subcutaneous fat was similar in both experimental groups (6.4 vs. 6.3%).
