The objective of study was to evaluate the effect of adding inulin to diets with normal and low calcium levels on productive performance, external and internal egg quality in 10- week-old laying quail. Sixty-four laying quail belonging to the subspecies Coturnix coturnix japonica were used, distributed in four treatments with four repetitions and 4 animals per repetition. Each group received one of the following treatments: T1, basal diet with normal calcium levels (3.16%) without inulin; T2, basal diet with normal calcium levels (3.16%) with inulin (0.5%); T3, low calcium basal diet (2.37%) without inulin, and T4, low calcium basal diet (2.37%) with inulin (0.5%). The main production parameters were recorded. At the end of experiment, eggs were collected for each treatment to evaluate the internal and external quality. Data were analyzed under a completely randomized design (DCA) with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement, considering two levels of calcium (2.37 and 3.16%) and two levels of inulin (0.0 and 0.5%), and it was used Tukey's test for comparison of means. Results showed that in productive parameters that there was no significant difference between low calcium treatment with inulin and treatment with normal level calcium without inulin and calcium level had an effect on feed consumption. In external egg quality, inulin had an influence on the egg shape index, being higher with a value of 0.5% inulin. In egg internal quality there were lower values in yolk diameter with a level of 2.37% of calcium. In conclusion, with the addition of 0.5% inulin in diets with low calcium levels, production parameters similar to diets with normal calcium levels are obtained.
