“…The results of vitamin C on live body weight (LBW) and FCR were in agreement with the finding of Usman et al, (2008) The results on FC were in agreement with the findings of Al-Rahawi, 2010 in quail, with those of Puthpongsiriporn et al (2001) and Mbajiorgu, (2011) in laying hens and also with the finding of Konca et al (2009); Tayeb et al (2011) andAl-krad et al, (2012) in broiler. The effects of vitamin C may be due to the positive effect of vitamin C as antioxidant that enhanced the thyroid function (El-Fiky, 1998) and the protection of intestinal mucosal lining and the improvement of digestive function in feed assimilation (Abdul-Majeed, 2013).…”

The current study was conducted on the animal production college of agriculture and forestry-University of Duhok, in order to investigate the effect of ration supplementation with vitamin C, red pepper (RP) and oak leaves (OL) on some physiological, reproductive and productive parameters of quail. Four hundred eighty quail birds (7 days) were divided into four groups with three replicates / group (40 birds/replicate, the groups were treated from the age of 7 days till the age of 49 days as follows: T1 (control): Reread on standard ration, T2: Reread on standard ration supplemented with vitamin C(300mg /kg ration). T3: Reread on standard ration supplemented with red pepper crush (5g/kg ration). T4: Reread on standard ration supplemented with oak leaves crush (10g/kg ration).The results of the current study revealed the following: Significant increase in live body weight (LBW) and body weight gain (BWG) of treatment as compared with control, significant decrease in feed consumption (FC) in vit. C group as compared with control, a significant improvement feed conversion ratio (FCR) in OL group as compared with control and in RP and vit. C groups as compared with OL group, a significant decrease in carcass weight of RP group as compared with control and OL groups and in heart relative weight as compared with vit. C group. Significant increase in mean egg weight, hen day (HD) % and egg mass/hen in OL group as compared with control and in as compared with other treatments. Significant increase in serum total protein (TP) and globulin in OL group as compared with vit. C group and a significant decrease in serum albumin in RP group as compared with control of male quail and a significant decrease in serum TP, globulin, albumin and TG in all groups as compared with control of female quail, a significant decrease in Cholesterol in OL group compared with control and in glucose as compared with RP and vit. C groups. Significant improvement in Lymphocyt (L)%, Heterophil (H)% and stress index in OL group of female quail and in L% and in H% in vit. C group of male quail significant improvement in yolk index in OL group and in shell membrane thickness in control group.

“…Excessive free radical production in the animal's body can produce a negative effect on biological activities (Halliwell and Gutteridge, 1989). Dietary manipulation has been identified as the most affordable method of alleviating the negative effect of high ambient temperature in the tropics, as the high cost of cooling animal pens is unaffordable W o r l d R a b b i t S c i e n c e for farmers (Konca et al, 2009). Therefore, the use of diets rich in natural antioxidants as a means of removing excessive free radicals from the animal's body and consequent alleviation of high-temperature negative effects on animal production is becoming popular (Liu et al, 2010;Kone et al, 2016;Zeweil and Elgindy, 2016;Li et al, 2018).…”

The effects of dietary Mucuna pruriens leaf meal (MLM) supplementation on rabbits’ performance, haemato-biochemical indices and antioxidant status outside their thermal neutrality zone (21 to 25°C) were evaluated. One hundred and twenty 35-d old crossbreed (Chinchilla×New Zealand) rabbits weighing 694±5 g were allotted to 4 treatments (30 rabbits/treatment; 3 rabbits/replicate). A basal diet (crude protein: 16.9%, crude fibre: 17.6%, digestible energy: 2671 kcal/kg) was divided into 4 equal portions i.e. diets 1, 2, 3 and 4, supplemented with 0, 4, 8 and 12 g MLM/kg, respectively, and pelleted. The average body weight in rabbits fed on diets 3 and 4 was higher compared to those fed on diet 1 (control) at 91 d of age (+228 and +262 g, respectively; P=0.01). Within 35 to 91 d, the average daily weight gain in rabbits fed on diets 3 and 4 was higher compared to those fed on the control diet (+4.1and +4.8 g/d, respectively; P=0.01). The dressing-out percentage of rabbits fed on diets 3 and 4 increased (P=0.05) compared to those fed the control diet. At 63 d and 91 d of age, the white blood cell level of rabbits fed on diet 4 increased significantly compared to those fed the control diet (+5.05×109 and +5.32×109/L, respectively). At 63 and 91 d of age, the cholesterol level of rabbits fed on diets 3 (–1.0 and –1.16 mmol/L, respectively) and 4 (–1.10 and –1.21 mmol/L, respectively), were significantly lower compared to those fed on the control diet. The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentration in rabbits fed on diet 4 was reduced compared to those on control diet at 63 d of age (–33.68 IU/L; P=0.02). At 63 d and 91 d of age, compared to control, the activities of glutathione peroxidase in rabbits fed on diets 3 (+35.77 and +49.09 mg protein, respectively) and 4 (+54.52 and +55.02 mg protein, respectively) increased significantly, while catalase activities in rabbits fed diet 4 (+217.7 and +209.5 mg/g, respectively) also increased significantly. It could be concluded that dietary MLM supplementation enhanced the rabbits’ performance, reduced serum AST and cholesterol and improved the antioxidant status.

“…On statistical analysis of data on the above liver enzymes revealed no significant difference (p>0.05) between treatment groups. Attia et al (2005) and Konca et al (2008) in their study found that serum alanine amino transferase level in blood of birds was decreased when they were fed with diets supplemented with betaine.…”
