heal.abstract	A study was conducted to investigate water and feed intake patterns, abdominal fat and carcass lipid levels, feed efficiency and growth in high (H) and low (L) body weight lines of Japanese quail divergently selected under complete diet (CD) or split diet (SD) environments. Birds under the SD environment could self-select from high-protein low-energy or low-protein high-energy diets. Progeny from both the selected and control (C) lines were evaluated under the SD environment in Generations 6 and 10, and under the CD environment in Generation 10. Under the SD environment, body weights of the H lines were similar as were body weights of the L lines; however, under the CD environment, there were significant differences between H lines and between L lines. Body weights were higher under the CD than under the SD environment. Differences between H and L lines in body weights and 1-wk relative growth rates within SD and CD environments were attributed to differences in water and feed consumption and feed efficiency. Water consumption was greater in the SD than CD environments. Feed consumption was greater in the SD than CD environment from 0 to 2 wk of age; thereafter, feed consumption was higher in the CD environment. Abdominal fat and carcass lipid levels were greater in H than L lines, with the magnitude of the difference greater in the SD environment, indicating that the SD may be a better environment than the CD environment for the study of abdominal fat and carcass lipids in Japanese quail.	en
