Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary fennel seed and enzyme supplementations in low-protein diet of growing Japanese quail on growth performance, carcass characteristics, blood parameters, intestinal microbiology and morphology parameters. A total number of 444, one day-old Japanese quails were weighed and randomly assigned to four groups, each of them consisted of four replicates in a completely randomized design [1) control diet, 2) low- crude protein diet, 3) low- crude protein diet + fennel seeds and 4) low- crude protein diet + fennel seeds + multi-enzyme supplementation]. The lowest weight gain and feed conversion ratio were observed in birds fed low-protein diets (P<4045) compared to other groups during period total. Carcass characteristics and counts of Lactobacillus spp. and Escherichia coli of cecum segment were not influenced by groups. Dietary low-protein induced higher triglyceride compared to the dietary low protein+ fennel seed groups (P<4045). Dietary fennel seed and enzyme supplementations in low-protein diets resulted in an improvement in intestinal morphology (P<4041) compared to low- protein group. Taken together, our data indicate that addition of fennel seed and enzyme supplementations in low-protein diet of growing Japanese quail increase the growth performance through improved the intestinal morphology parameters.
