Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the effects of inclusion of prebiotic (mannanoligosaccharide) or antibiotic (fla-vomycin) to the diets containig low protein on fattening performance characteristics of Japanese quails. The birds were fed with the diets containing 18 % CP and 2 ppm flavomycin or 0.1 % mannanoligosaccharide for 35 days. The results showed that mannanoligosaccharides could be alternative to flavomycin for the diets containig low protein. In the present study, although there was a significant difference (P<0.05) for food intake among the groups fed with flavomy-cin and mannanoligosaccharide, there were no significant differences for live weight gain and food conversion ratio among these groups.Keywords : Antibiyotik, besi performansı, Japon bıldırcını, prebiyotik, protein
