“…The findings of this study are consistent with those made by Akintunde et al (2020), who found that left epididymal weights of Yoruba Ecotype Nigeria local chickens and Isa Brown chooks fed varying amounts of Moringa oleifera seed meal showed a significant difference. According to Oyeyemi and Okediran (2007), a higher concentration of spermatozoa may indicate a high fertility rate due to the quantity of spermatozoa present during service or insemination.…”

Calcium (29.95%), magnesium (4.08%), potassium (23.2%), sodium (0.38%), phosphorus (6.9%), chlorine (0.3%), manganese (1.44 ppm), iron (3.6 ppm), aluminum (5.35%), titanium (2.1 ppm), and silicon (22.7 ppm) were all found to be present in the sample according to mineral analysis (Akintunde et al, 2022).…”

“…However, they came to the conclusion that molasses might be fed to broilers as a supplement by drinking water. Akintunde et al (2022) reported that ELM mixture contained energy (1060.3 kcal/100 kg), moisture content (19.6%), crude protein (15.2%), lipids (5.5%), ash (14.6%), crude fiber (9.6%), carbs (35.2%), and fatty acids (4.4%).

“…However, studies have demonstrated that spermatogenesis and egg production in animal breeding may be delayed by phytochemical-rich diets (Akintunde et al, 2020;. The importance of morphometrics in relation to the reproductive system was highlighted by Ogbuewu et al (2009) since they are crucial for giving useful and predictive information in determining the capacity for animal reproduction.…”

As demand for animal protein rises, raising Japanese quail holds much potentials in bridging the gap. Phytogenics has been reported to have effect on spermiogramic parameters of animals. This research was done to ascertain the spermiogramic parameters of Japanese quails to administration of aqueous solution of egg lime molasses mixture (ELM). Fresh eggs were placed in a dish, followed by 500g of molasses and 1 liter of lime juice. It was then covered for 10 days and the entire mixture was blended. Two hundred day old Japanese quails were assigned to five treatments in a Completely Randomized Design and were subdivided into 4 replicates of 10 birds each. The control (T1) having no administration of ELM, T2 had an inclusion level of 10 mL, T3: 20 mL, T4: 30 mL and T5: 40 mL, all in 500 mL of water. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The study was carried out for 49 days. Data were collected on genitalia morphometry and fertilizing potentials. The birds administered 20 mL of ELM had significantly (p <0.05) higher left epididymis weight (0.36 ± 0.05g) compared to the other groups. The inclusion of ELM in the water significantly influenced (p <0.05) left epididymis volume, paired epididymis volume, left epididymis density, paired epididymis density and spermatozoa reserves in the right epididymis. Testosterone values significantly increased (p <0.05) with increased ELM inclusion. It can be concluded that the administration of ELM did not alter growth parameters however birds that received 20 mL per 500 mL of water had the best reproductive parameters.

“…In a study on nutritional and ethno-medicinal potentials of egg-lime molasses mixture (ELM) in livestock production by Akintunde et al (2022), quantitative evaluation of the phytochemicals showed that ELM contained alkaloids (8.46 mg/100 g), flavonoids (2.30 mg/100 g), glycosides (0.08 mg/ 100 g), Saponin (5.25 mg/100 g), steroids (0.22 mg/l00 g), phenols (0.09 mg/100 g), terpenoides (0.56 mg/100 g), tannin (8.34 mg/100 g) and antraquinones (1.60 mg/100 g) and the vitamin constituents are Vitamin A (3.20 mg/100 g), Vitamin B1 (280 mg/100 g), Vitamin B2 (880 mg/100 g), Vitamin B3 (340 mg/100 g), Vitamin C (15.40 mg/100 g) and Vitamin E (0.015 mg/100 g) (Akintunde et al, 2022). However, Akintunde et al (2022) came to the conclusion that ELM could be a viable natural antibiotic alternative, particularly in monogastric animal production, because of its abundance in numerous nutrients and phytochemicals that give it the capacity to perform many biological activities.…”

Background: Japanese quails have the potentials of being cheap source of animal protein. This study was conducted to determine the growth pattern and physiological response of Japanese quails to administration of aqueous solution of egg lime molasses mixture (ELM). Methods: ELM was prepared by placing fresh eggs in a bowl after which 1 liter of lime juice and 500 g of molasses were added and left for 10 days at temperature of 27°C and relative humidity of 61%. The entire solution was then blended together. Two hundred day old Japanese quails were assigned to five treatments (4 replicates/treatment) with forty birds in a completely randomized design (CRD). The control (T1) having no administration of ELM, T2 had an inclusion level of 10 ml, T3: 20 ml, T4: 30 ml and T5: 40 ml ELM all into 500 ml of water. Feed and water were offered ad libitum. The study was carried out for 49 days. Data were collected on growth, morphometrics and key physiology parameters. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance using SPSS Version 22. Result: Significant difference (p less than 0.05) was observed only for feed conversion ratio at the starter phase, however, birds administered 20 ml ELM/500 ml of water had the best FCR. Significant differences (p less than 0.05) were observed for live weight and weight gain at the finisher phase. Significant differences (p less than 0.05) were observed in body morphometrics with birds administered 20 ml/500 ml of water having the highest values. There were significant differences (p less than 0.05) in rectal temperature and respiratory rate at the starter phase while at the finisher phase, significant difference (p less than 0.05) was only observed in rectal temperature. It can be concluded from this study that aqueous administration of egg lime molasses solution in the diet of Japanese quails has no detrimental effect on the growth pattern and physiological response.
