One of the priority tasks of the agro-industrial complex in the modern world is to increase agricultural animal productivity and maximize the use of various processing byproducts in their feeding. Therefore, the experiment has been conducted to determine the influence of distillers dried grains with solubles as a part of feed mixtures on young quail meat productivity. To carry out the experiment, 5 groups, 100 quail heads in each, have been formed. Quails in the control group 1 did not receive distillers dried grains with solubles as a part of their feed mixture. Quails in the experimental groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 were fed by, respectively, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of distillers dried grains with solubles in complex with feed mixture. The experiment lasted for 35 days. Due to the daily body weight (thereinafter - BW) gain in average for the entire farming period, quails in the experimental group 5 gave in to quails in the control group by 0.16 g or 2.5% (P < 0.01), while the experimental group 2 outweighed them by 0.09 g or 1.4%, group 3 - by 0.19 g or 3% (P < 0.01), group 4 - by 0.13 g or 2.1% (P < 0.01). The lowest feed consumption per 1 kg of quail weight gain was observed in the experimental group 3, that gave in to quails in the control group by 78 g or 2.4%. The experimental groups 2 and 4 had the same indicators, that gave in to quails in the control group by 31 g or 0.9%. And only the experimental group 5 consumed 61 g or 1.8% more feed per 1 kg of BW gain in comparison to the control group. Evaluation of slaughter characteristics in quails, by means of complete feed mixtures with different content of distillers dried grains with solubles, has shown that the experimental group quails achieved the highest indicators.
