“…Indeed, the synergistic action resulting from the association of several protein sources in the A3 food has already been demonstrated by many researchers including Smith [33] who showed that various protein sources lead to better performance of spawn subjects. The daily egg laying rates obtained in quails in this study are lower than those obtained by Marques et al [34], Berto et al [35], Hassan [36] and Abdel-Azeem [30]. who worked respectively on quails during a period ranging from the 6 th to the 14 th week.…”

The effects of the consumption of formulated (A1, A2 and A3) and commercial (AT) feeds on the zootechnical and nutritional performance of quail (Coturnix japonica) were studied. The experiment involved 80 1-day-old quails. At the end of the experiment which lasted 9 weeks, the quantities of food ingested per day by quail A1, A2, A3 and AT were respectively 25.27±0.02 g, 25.34± 0.08g, 23.83±0.11g and 23.85±0.08g. A3 and AT quails had the highest mass gains with respective values of 3.65±0.22 and 3.64±0.17 g/d. The best feed efficiency after the growth phase was observed with quail fed with growth feed formulated A3 (6.52 ± 0.05). The carcass yields of the quails fed with the formulated growth foods A1, A2, A3 and commercial AT are respectively 63±0.01; 66±0.01; 64±0.03 and 64±0.03%. The highest mortality rate (10%) was found with quails fed A1 and A2 formulated growth feed. In short, among the formulated feeds, feed A3 had a better impact, similar or even greater than that of commercial feed AT on the zootechnical performance of the Japanese quail studied.

“…No significant (P>0.05) effects due to vitamin A on FCR on the periods of 7-14, 7-21 and 7-28 days of age. Vitamin A supplementation did not result in statistical difference for FCR of quails during the experimental period (Marques et al, 2011). Similar results with vitamin A supplementation were described by Lin et al (2002) andMendonça Júnior et al (2002), who also did not verify any differences on FCR of hens supplied with vitamin A supplementation.…”

total number of one hundred eighty unsexed seven-days-old quails were used in present study in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement (2 levels of vitamin A, 0 and 40,000 IU/kg feed) and three levels of vitamin D3 (0, 1500 and 3000 ICU/kg feed). Chicks were randomly divided into six equal treatments of three replicates of ten quails each. Results showed that vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) on body weight (BW) at 28 and 35days of age. The highest level of vitamin A (40,000 IU) achieved an increase in BW. Also, vitamin D affects significantly (P<0.05) BW at 42 days of age. The highest levels of both vitamin A and D3(40,000 IU vitamin A and 3000 ICU vitamin D3) in treatment 6 achieved the heights BW compared to control treatment. Vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) body weight gain (BWG) during the period from 7-28 and 7-42days of age. The highest level of vitamin A (40,000 IU) achieved an increase in BWG. However, vitamin D affects significantly (P<0.05) on BWG during the period from 7-42 days of age. Vitamin A affects significantly (P<0.05) on feed consumption during (14-21), (21-28), (28-35), and (35-42) days of age. Vitamin A affect significantly (P<0.05) on feed conversion ratio (FCR) during the period from 7-35 and 7-42 days of age. Vitamin D3 affects significant (P>0.05) on FCR during the period from 7-14, 7-21 ,7-28 ,7-35, and 7-42 days of age. The highest levels of both vitamin A and D3(40,000 IU vitamin A and 3000 ICU of vitamin D3/kg) achieved the best values of both BW and BWG compared to control group. Vitamin A didn't affect significantly on carcass characteristics, but vitamin D3 affects significantly on gizzard weight and the highest levels of vitamin D3 (1500 and 3000 ICU /kg feed) achieved a decrease in gizzard weight. Also, the level of 3000 ICU achieved increase in carcass constituents.It can be concluded that the level of 40000 IU vitamin A/kg achieved the highest values of both body weight and body weight gain. The addition of 3000 ICU of vitamin D3/kg feed improved FCR. Therefore, the results of this study show the improvement of growth performance and carcass traits in Japanese quail, especially at the level of 40000 IU vitamin A/kg or 3000 IU/kg of vitamin D3/kg.

Nutraceutical effects of organic Selenium and vitamin E supplementation on performance, antioxidant protection and egg quality of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica)

This study evaluated the nutraceutical effects of organic Selenium and vitamin E supplementation on performance, egg quality and antioxidant protection of Japanese quails. Forty-two posture cages with six birds each were randomly set in seven treatments. Each treatment consisted of the addition of 200 IU of vitamin E/kg of feed and increasing levels of organic Selenium. Significant differences were found in α-Tocopherol deposition, enzymatic activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and oxidative bioindicator malondialdehyde (MDA) in egg yolk with vitamin E supplementation. We concluded that supplementing 200mg of vitamin E and 0.30 ppm organic Selenium did not affect bird performance, but improved egg quality and shelf life. Highlights: This study evaluated the nutraceutical effects of organic selenium and vitamin E supplementation on egg quality of Japanese quails. Forty-two posture cages with six birds each were randomly set in seven treatments. Each treatment consisted of the addition of 200 IU of vitamin E/kg of feed and increasing levels of organic selenium. Supplementing 200mg of vitamin E and 0.30 ppm organic selenium did not affect bird performance, but improved egg quality and shelf life.
