Influence of thyme and turmeric essential oils supplementation on growth performance, nutrient utilization and economics of Japanese quails

This experiment aimed to study the effect of dietary thyme and turmeric essential oils supplementation on growth performance, nutrient utilization economics Japanese quails. For this purpose, a total 180 six-day-old quail chicks were randomly assigned into five different treatment groups, each with three replicates (12 birds per replicate). The was conducted for 35 days. Different groups quails designated as T0 (Basal diet without oils), T1 0.2% oil), T2 0.3% oil, T3 0.125% + 0.075% T4 0.125 % oils). At end experiment, it found that reduced feed consumption, improved body weight gain, conversion ratio protein efficiency ratio, group showing best performance during overall experimental period. cost kg gain minimum in over other groups. Addition significantly enhanced In conclusion, supplementing combination at nutrients
