Биохимическое исследование крови японских перепелов: эффект влияния экстракта ромашки (Matricaria recutita L.)

Abstract

The high egg production and fast growth of the Japanese quail attracts a lot of attention to quail farming. This is ensured by the reproductive system of quails, which allows you to purposefully influence their productivity. However, the intensive feeding and rearing systems recently used in commercial quail farming are detrimental to the health of quails. The use of medicinal plants as effective natural growth stimulants can solve this problem, since this direction has found wide application in animal husbandry. This study is intended to determine the effect of an aqueous extract of chamomile on the biochemical parameters of the blood of Japanese quails of the Estonian breed. The experiment involved 60 Japanese quails (experiment-30 and control-30), the experimental group from the age of two weeks was fed this chamomile extract for four weeks (chamomile extract 3 ml/l together with drinking water). Using a universal analyzer, hematological (erythrocytes, hemoglobin) and biochemical parameters (total serum protein, albumins, globulins, alkaline phosphatase, phosphorus, calcium, ALT, AST) were determined in the blood of experimental animals. The authors conclude that chamomile extract significantly increases the level of total protein and albumin, reduces the level of glucose in the blood serum of Japanese quails and can be used as a safe natural growth stimulant for Japanese quails.
