Effect of Using Aloe Vera and Protexin Probiotic on Performance, Carcass Characteristics and Some Blood Biochemical in Japanese Quails

To determine the effect of using Aloe vera and protexin probiotic on performance, carcass characteristics and some blood biochemical in Japanese quails, a total 300 ten days old Japanese quails quail chicks with an average weight of 19.5±5 g were divided into 8 treatments with 3 replicates as factorial randomized design experiment. The quails were fed by basal diet as control diet, (0 and 1 g.kg protexin probiotic) and (0.1 and 0.2 percentage Aloe vera powder). For performance evaluation feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were measured. At the end of trial 2 quails form each group was slaughtered then separated and some edible organs percentage were measured and compared together. Protexin and Aloe vera increased feed intake (g) compared to control. Body weight (g) was higher significantly (p≤0.05) when the birds fed by them. There were no significant differences for feed conversion ratio (FCR) between treatments. Carcass percentage had increased by using Aloe vera and protexin probiotic. The breast and drumstick weight was changed no significantly by using experimental diets. Glucose levels tended to increase by using Aloe vera. There were significant differences for cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL levels between treatments (p≤0.05). Data showed that cholesterol and triglyceride were decreased by using Aloe vera and protexin but HDL was increased where quails fed by Aloe vera and protexin probiotic. We determine significant differences between male and female quails about some blood biochemical. As result relevant from this study using of Aloe vera and protexin in quails diet may be useful and have significantly effects on performance, carcass characteristics, some blood biochemical on Japanese quails.
