The Effects Of Yucca Schidigera Extract Added To Quail Rations On Egg Production, Egg Quality And Some Blood Parameters, Berri̇n Kocaoğlu Güçlü Jan 2003

The Effects Of Yucca Schidigera Extract Added To Quail Rations On Egg Production, Egg Quality And Some Blood Parameters, Berri̇n Kocaoğlu Güçlü

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was carried out to determine the effects of rations containing 0, 30, 60 and 90 ppm Yucca schidigera extract on egg production, feed intake, feed efficiency, egg quality and some blood parameters of quail. Two hundred and forty, eight-week-old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided into one control group and three treatment groups of similar mean weight and egg production levels, comprising 60 quail each. A basal diet containing 18% crude protein and 2800 kcal/kg metabolic energy was supplemented with 0, 30, 60 and 90 ppm Yucca schidigera extract. The experimental period lasted 12 weeks. Yucca schidigera …


The Effects Of Triticale Used In Different Amounts In Laying Quail Rations On Egg Production And Egg Quality, Berri̇n Kocaoğlu Güçlü, Kaan M. İşçan Jan 2003

The Effects Of Triticale Used In Different Amounts In Laying Quail Rations On Egg Production And Egg Quality, Berri̇n Kocaoğlu Güçlü, Kaan M. İşçan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was performed to determine the effects of using 40% and 60% triticale with or without enzyme instead of maize on egg production, feed intake, feed efficiency, egg quality and hatchability in laying quail diets. In this study, a total of 160, 12-week-old Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were used; birds with similar live weight and production levels were divided into five groups of 32 quails. Although using triticale at the rate of 40% and 60% in the diet of laying quails did not affect egg production, hatchability, fertility, egg specific gravity, egg shell thickness, the egg white and …


The Effects Of Dietary Probiotic Supplementation On Some Productivity And Blood Parameters Of Laying Quails Raised Under Constant Heat Stress, Ahmet G. Önol, Mustafa Sari, Fatma Karakaş Oğuz, Beyhan Gülcan, Göksel Erbaş Jan 2003

The Effects Of Dietary Probiotic Supplementation On Some Productivity And Blood Parameters Of Laying Quails Raised Under Constant Heat Stress, Ahmet G. Önol, Mustafa Sari, Fatma Karakaş Oğuz, Beyhan Gülcan, Göksel Erbaş

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A study was carried out to determine the effects of yeast based (Biosacc^TM) and mixture of bacteria-mold-yeast based (Protexin^TM) dietary probiotics on live weight, feed consumption, feed efficiency, egg production, egg weight, egg shell weight, and some blood parameters of quails raised under constant heat stress conditions. One hundred and ninety-eight 9-week-old Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) were used in the experiment. They were randomly assigned in equal numbers to three treatments: a control and two dietary probiotic treatments. Dietary treatments had six replicates with 11 quails in each. Three dietary treatments were formed by the inclusion of either no …
