The effects of protexin probiotic and chicoridin supplementation on performance and some hematological parameters in Jap
Journal Title: Agricultural Advances - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feedingprotexin and chicoridin tableon performance and some hematological parameters of Japanese quail.A total of 240 seven days old quail chicks with an average weight of 18.50 g were divided into 8treatmentswith 3 replicates. The treatments were divided as basal diet with no protexin and chicoridinkept as control, and for others 100 mg/kg (T1), 200 mg/kg (T2) and300 mg/kg(T3) chicoridin with or without protexin (0-100 g/kg)were used respectively. The live body weight gains and feed consumption of birds were measured individually feed conversion efficiency were calculated. At the end of the trial for investigating the effect of using protexin and chicoridinsupplementationon performance of quails, 2 birds form each replicates were slaughteredand some blood samples were taken forhematological parameters determination.Data showed that using of protexin and chicoridinincreasedfeed intake (FI) in treatmentscompared to control.Alsobody weight (BW) (g/d) and Pre-slaughter weigh (g) were higher in protexin and chicoridingroups compared to the control. There were significant differences (p<0.05) for feed conversation ratio (FCR) among treatments.Data showed that using of protexin and chicoridincould increasecarcass yield (g), breast and drumstick meat percentage none significantly. Data showed that gizzard and intestine weightalso increased by usingprotexin and chicoridin. Hematological investigations showedthat although triglyceride, cholesterol and LDLhad decreased but glucose andHDLlevels had increased by usingprotexin and chicoridinin the T1, T2 and T3compared to the control.Data from this study showed that protexin and chicoridinmay be used as ingredient in quails ration without harming effects on performance and carcass quality of birds.
