Abstract

Effects of Organic Acids Supplement on Performance, Egg Traits, Blood Serum Biochemical Parameters and Gut Microflora in Female Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Highlights

  • The removal of antibiotics growth stimulator from the feed is one of the major challenges in industrial poultry and domestic animals

  • The results of this study showed that diets containing basal diet (BD)+lactic acid (LA), BD+acetic acid (AA)+LA+butyric acid (BA), BD+LA+BA and BD+BA respectively had the most significant effect on feed intake (FI) as they as significantly increased FI compared

  • The results of the present study showed that the use of organic acid supplements in experimental diet caused significant increase in FI from 23.66 (g/bird/day) for basal diet without organic acids supplement to 24.09, 23.86, 23.84, and 23.79 (g/bird/day), respectively, for diets containing BD+LA, BD+AA+L to mg/dl (BD+AA)+LA+BA, BD+LA+BA and BD+BA (p

Summary

Introduction

The removal of antibiotics growth stimulator from the feed is one of the major challenges in industrial poultry and domestic animals. Organic acids have the potential to replace antibiotics as growth promoters (Gornowicz & Dziadek, 2002; Dibner & Buttin, 2002; Dibner & Richards, 2005; Gunal et al, 2006; Cakir et al, 2008). Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of organic acid additives on growth factors of broiler chickens. The present study aimedto evaluate the efficiency of organic acids supplement as growth promoters in Japanese quail. Earlier research has been conducted on the effect of organic acids in Japanese quail research for evaluation the production parameters, the measured amounts of the cholesterol, triglyceride, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels, glucose, albumin, globulin contents in serum, and measured liver’s cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL, and LDL levels in female Japanese quail with intake of organic acids additives in diets
