Growth performance, haematology, serum biochemistry and meat quality characteristics of Japanese quail ( Coturnix coturnix japonica ) fed canola meal-based diets

Abstract: The present study investigated the effect of partial replacement of soybean meal (Glycine max) with canola meal (CM) (Brassica napus) on the growth performance, haematology, serum biochemistry and meat quality characteristics of female Japanese quails in a 35-day feeding trial. One hundred and forty 6-week-old quails 158.28 ± 11.919 g were randomly allocated to 5 isonitrogenous and isoenergetic experimental diets: control diet (CM0; with no CM inclusion); CM0 with 2.5% (CM25), 5.0% (CM50), 12.5% (CM125) and 17… Show more

“…However, experimental diets also had no effect on meat cooking loss and Warner-Bratzler shear force values (meat texture), indicating that protease inclusion had no influence on these parameters. Meat pH, colour, cooking losses and Warner-Bratzler shear force values for female Japanese quails were within the normal ranges as reported by Mnisi and Mlambo (2018).…”

“…The presence of protease/trypsin inhibitors (17.7 TIU/mg) (Hussain 2015) reduces the utilization of CM, this is because trypsin inhibitors are known to bind to trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes thereby reducing their digestive activities. Indeed, inclusion levels of CM more than 125 g/kg in place of SBM is reported to reduce voluntary feed intake in Japanese quails (Mnisi and Mlambo 2018).…”

“…The pH u of the breast meat from both male and female Japanese quail has been reported to range from 5.4 to 6.62 ( Boni et al., 2010 ; Genchev et al., 2008 ; Gevrekçi et al., 2009 ; Mnisi & Mlambo, 2018 ; Narinc et al., 2013 ; Nasr, Ali & Hussein, 2017 ; Ribarski & Genchev, 2013 ). In the current study, the pH u of the breast meat from the carcasses of male and female quail which ranged from 6.14 to 6.52 fell within the reported range from previous studies but that of meat from the thighs, which ranged from 6.55 to 6.94, was higher.…”

“…Additionally its fibre content was of no consequence to the quails’ ability to extract energy from nutrient digestion and absorption. In Japanese quail, an ADG of 1.2–23 g/day, FCR values ranging from 11.81–65.63 and empty carcass weight ranges of 116.40 g-127.52 g are reported ( Mnisi & Mlambo, 2018 ; Almeida, Oliveira, Ramos, Veiga & Dias, 2002 ; Karthika & Chandirasekaran, 2016 ; Randall & Bolla, 2008 ; Vali, 2008 ). We report ADG, FCR and empty carcass mass ranges of 5.43 g-6.57 g, 9.20–22.57 and 124.71±12.08 g-134.63±20.07 g, respectively, which are within the ranges reported in literature.…”
