“…4). This is consistent with other studies that reported similar chemical composition of meat in broiler chickens fed sorghum (whole grain or ground) that replaced partially or totally corn (Garcia et al, 2005;Carolino et al, 2014) or in meat-type quail (Moraes et al, 2016). Comparing three nutritional programs with whole sorghum grain-based diets in Hubbard broilers, Silveira et al (2017) reported values to range from 23.39-23.66% for protein and from 2.6-2.68% for fat contents of breast meat.…”

“…Quail production has been increasing in recent years because of the potential for meat production, high egg production, commercial diversity and fast return on investment. Studies in the field of quail nutrition have focussed on specific topics, such as nutritional protein, energy and amino-acid requirements (Moraes et al 2016). However, data on pigment agents and alternative foods and their effect on metabolism are still limited.…”

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of adding different turmeric amounts to sorghum-based diets for Japanese quails on animal performance, animal metabolism, yolk colour, egg quality, blood and liver biochemical parameters and sensory attributes of the eggs. The study included 210 egg-laying quails aged 50 days and lasted for 90 days. The study had a completely randomised design with six treatments and five replicates with seven birds per replicate. A control corn-based feed and sorghum-based feeds to which different turmeric levels were added (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2%) were tested. The results showed that the sorghum-based feeds with added turmeric levels did not affect animal performance, metabolisation of protein and ether extract, internal and external quality of eggs, serum biochemical profile, including calcium, phosphorous, protein and liver transaminase enzymes. Blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels decreased when !0.5% percentages of turmeric were added to the feed. Yolk colour of the treatments differed significantly from that of the control, but the yolks were considered well suited for consumption. Turmeric reduced the cholesterol and triglyceride levels in egg-laying quails.

“…The sorghum, increasingly, have been used in poultry feed formulations as an alternative ingredient to corn. Research results show the possibility of replacing up to 100% of corn by sorghum without causing damages on poultries performance (FAGUNDES et al, 2017;MORAES et al, 2016;SALEH et al, 2019). However, the use of sorghum causes a decrease in pigmentation of the meat and egg yolk of the birds (MOURA et al, 2010;SOUZA et al, 2015;SOUZA et al, 2019).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of including annatto seed by-product (ASB) in diets containing sorghum on nutrient utilization, performance and characteristics of the eggs of laying hens. A total of 288 Lohman Brown laying hens, 34 weeks of age, were distributed in completely randomized design with six treatments and six replications of the eight birds each other. The treatments consisted of a diet with corn as an energy source and other with sorghum and inclusion of 0, 25, 45, 65 and 85 g/kg of ASB. Comparing the results, increasing levels of RSU did not affect the metabolizability of nutrients, and utilization the energy of the feed. It was also observed there was no effect on the performance and parameters egg quality, except for yolk color. There was a significant linear increase in yolk colour with inclusion of ASB. We concluded that the annatto seed by-product can be used at levels up to 85 g/kg in laying hen diets containing sorghum as the main source of energy, with the possibility of reducing yolk pigmentation problems, caused by the total substitution of corn by sorghum, with the inclusion of ASB from 25 g/kg.
