Influences of dietary supplementation of antimicrobial cold pressed oils mixture on growth performance and intestinal microflora of growing Japanese quails
Open accessAbstract
This study evaluated the effect of dietary supplementation of antimicrobial cold pressed oils mixture [1:1:1 of Nigella sativa, cloves and rosemary (NCR)] at levels of 0.75 and 1.5 g kgG 1 diet, on growth performance, carcass traits and some microbiological aspects for growing Japanese quails.A total number of 225 growing Japanese quails one week old were used in a complete randomized design experiment with three treatments.Final live body weight was significantly (p<0.01)higher by 2.89% in quails fed diet supplemented with 1.5 g NCR oil compared to those fed the control diet.Feed intake increased statistically (p<0.01) as the level of oil mixture supplement increased.The best feed conversion of 2.87 was associated with 1.5 g oil during period 3-6 weeks of age, whilst the control group gave the best feed conversion within the whole period (1-6 weeks of age) followed by the experimental group treated with 1.5 g NCR oil.Feeding quails on a diet enriched with 1.5 g NCR oil resulted in the best carcass percentage which increased by 3.72% compared to those fed the control diet.The populations of Total Bacterial Count (TBC), coliforms and Escherichia coli in ileum, ceca and feces were fewer (p<0.05) in quails fed diet supplemented with NCR oil mixtures (1.5 g w/w) compared with the control diet.In conclusion, the dietary supplementation of antimicrobial cold pressed oils mixture by 1.5 g kgG 1 showed the potential to enhance the growth performance and reduce intestinal and excreta pathogenic bacteria in quails.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
