background: this cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays; and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-tx on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin b1. methods: overall, 168 one-d-old chicks (japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a compl...

The effect of genetically modified (GM) feed components comprising soya bean meal and maize on the performance indices (reproduction, survival rate, growth, egg production, relative weight of chosen internal organs, and basic chemical composition of breast muscle and egg yolk) of Japanese quails was investigated during a 10-generation trial. A total number of 8,438 healthy quail chicks were use...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented curcumin (cmn), derived from plant curcuma longa, extract on performance and blood parameters of acetaminophen (act) induced quail hepatic injury. 240 quails from 0-37 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments of 4 replicates each and 15 chickens per replicate. all groups received 750 mg/kg body we...

An experiment was conducted on laying quails to determine optimum dietary level of Ashwagandha supplementation on egg production and egg quality traits at Instructional poultry farm Nagla, GBPUA&T. Hundred quails were randomly distributed in four treatments and reared on standard managemental conditions. The root powder of Ashwagandha was added over the basal ration at 0.5% level (T2), 1% (T3),...

lysozyme is one of the bioactive components of eggs with well known antibacterial potential, widely used in food industry, medicine and pharmaceutics. in this study, the possibility of quail’s egg lysozyme concentration and activity (modified via amino acids dietary supplementation) was investigated. in accordance with lysozyme amino acids profile, four amino acids of: asparagine, arginine, gly...

The present study was designed to study the chemical composition, apparent and true metabolizable energy values of the walnut meal and to evaluate the effects of different levels of walnut meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) on Japanese quail's growth performance, blood metabolites, relative weight of different organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in breast meat and egg yolks' cholesterol. This stu...

the study was conducted to determine the effect of varying protein levels and preservation method on external egg qualities of japanese quails. a total of 180 birds were randomly allotted into three dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (crd) replicated six times. a factorial arrangement of 3 × 4 × 4 which involves 3 protein levels (15, 20 and 25% crude protein), 4 storage method...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of soybean, linseed and sunflower oil (various sources of fatty acids) with and without l-carnitine supplements (0 and 50 mg kg-1) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits of japanese quail. one hundred and ninety-two of 7-day old female japanese quail were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments with 4 replicates and fed...
