The Effects of Dietary Liquid Colostrum on Growth Performance, Some Biochemical Parameters and Elements Concentrations of Japan Quails

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of rations containing 2.5% and 5% dietary liquit colostrum on the live weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, feed comsumption and some serum biochemical parameters in Japanese quails. A total of 90 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided in to 1 control and 2 experimental groups each containing 30 birds. Each group was replicated in six cages with five quails and fed for a period of 42 days. Treatments were 1) control 2) diet included 2.5% liquid colostrum 3) diet included 5% liquid colostrum. At the end of experiment, in treatments containing liquit colostrum on the live weight gain (P< 0.0001), slaughter weight (P< 0.001), feed consumption (P< 0.0001) and feed efficiency of quails significantly increased (P< 0.002) compared to the control. Result showed that Ca (P< 0.01) and Mg (P< 0.05) levels in group 5% liquid colostrum significantly increased compared to the control while glucose level was decreased. Alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, albumin, creatinine, direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, total protein, iron and phosphorus levels were not statistically different among the groups. The addition of liquid colostrum to the quail ration improved the final body weight, live weight gain, cumulative feed intake and feed efficiency of quails. It is concluded that liquit colostrum could be added to quail rations, as long as it is economically advantages.
