Nutritional and physiological impact of dietary marula (Sclerocarya birrea ssp. caffra) kernel cake as a soybean meal replacement in Jumbo quail: implications for meat quality and consumer health

Nutritional and physiological impact of dietary marula (Sclerocarya birrea ssp. caffra) kernel cake as a soybean meal replacement in Jumbo quail: implications for meat quality and consumer health

The high feed costs, primarily due to reliance on expensive imported soybean meal (SBM) as a dietary protein source, limit the economic sustainability of quail production.
