This study investigates the effect of different chromium picolinate levels as food supplementation and sex on Japanese quail meat characteristics. Ninety Japanese quail chicks with one day of age were reared in 340C temperature and continuously feed and water providing at the Faculty of Agriculture , University of Diyala animals’ field, vitamins were provided with water and temperature were monitored continuously. Birds were allocated for three treatments with convergent of weight average when reached the age of 14 days, each treatment contain three replicates and ten birds for each replicate, each replicate birds were rearing in cage with 50×50×50cm for four weeks (until 42 day of age), all treatments birds were provide with free same ration and chromium was added to the treatments ration as follows: control treatment: without chromium, treatment one (T1) adding 250μg (0.25mlg) chromium picolinate/kg ration, treatment two (T2) adding 500μg (0.5mlg) chromium picolinate/kg ration. After the period of the experiment finished, six birds were selected randomly from each treatment (three from each sex) and weighted then slaughtered, many measurements were taken from meat and carcasses, including hot and cold carcass weight, dressing percentage, carcass cuts weight, breast and leg cooking loss, thawing loss and meat chemical composition. Statistical analyses show that no clear effect of supplementation on these measurements and no real benefits from adding it with quail ration in this ratio and this experiment conditions and traits. It might be concluded that the chromium presented normally in ration and water was adequate to normal quail requirement and chromium supplementation may not be essential. Higher chromium ratio should be tested.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the “Enzimsporin” probiotic preparation together with grass meal from Jerusalem artichoke green mass for feeding young rabbits, 200 French “Hypharm” rabbits (males) rabbits (males) were selected in the conditions of the “Lipetsk rabbit” LLC industrial complex, which are 45 days old on the principle groups – analogues were divided into 2 groups. Fattening was carried out until the age of 105 days. Rabbits of the 1st group (control) received mixed feed without additives, rabbits of the 2nd group were additionally injected with the probiotic preparation “Enzimsporin” 1.0 g/kg of mixed feed and a sorbent-toxin neutralizer “Fungistat-GPK” 2.0 g / kg mixed feed along with grass meal from green mass of Jerusalem artichoke in an optimally selected dosage of 15% by weight of the mixed feed. Upon reaching the age of 105 days, rabbits of the 1st group (control) were characterized by live weight, which was less than the weight of individuals of the 2nd group - by 284.0 g or 9.80%. The safety of the livestock in the control group was 90%, in the 2nd group 100%. An analysis of the morphological composition of rabbit carcasses showed that the use of the studied feed additives contributes to a more intensive growth of muscle tissue and an increase in the quality indicators and nutritional value of the obtained raw meat. Thus, the “Enzimsporin” preparation together with herbal flour from the green mass of Jerusalem artichoke is a promising product from a number of probiotics used in animal feeding and can increase the productivity and quality of rabbit meat.

SummaryThis experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding some herbal feed additives (HF A) [thyme (T, Thymus Vulgaris L.), dianthus (D, Delphinum Ajaews), and fennel (F, Foeniculum Vulgare L.)] at a level of 10g/kg to Japanese quail diets on performance and some metabolic functions. Adding HFA to the control diet improved (P<0.05) body gain, feed intake and feed conversion (feed/gain) efficiency. The birds fed dietary F additive exhibited the best (P<0.05) values of these parameters during the entire period (0 to 6 weeks of age), compared with other dietary treatments. There was an improvement (P<0.05) in total protein, globulin, and albumin for birds fed dietary T or F at six weeks of age. Birds fed on dietary F recorded the lowest (P<0.05) value of these components compared with other dietary treatments.

A total number of 360 laying Japanese quail (8 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 12 groups. Birds in all groups had nearly the same average initial body weight. A factorial arrangement (4 × 3) was performed including four levels of dietary cadmium (Cd) as cadmium chloride (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg diet) and three levels of feed additives (without, 300 mg/kg ascorbic acid and 1.50% natural clay). Results revealed that Cd contaminated feed caused significant (p < 0.01) retardation in body weight, lower egg number and egg mass and worse feed conversion. On the other hand, the addition of ascorbic acid or natural clay to quail diets caused a significant (p < 0.01) improvement in all studied traits. With respect to the interaction among Cd and the experimental additives, results showed that within each Cd level, ascorbic acid or clay supplementation recorded the highest body weight, egg number, egg weight and mass in addition to improved feed conversion. Cadmium levels decreased (p < 0.05) blood total protein, albumen and A/G ratio. Both 300 mg ascorbic acid and 1.50% clay increased (p < 0.05) blood total protein and albumen compared to non-supplemented groups. It could be concluded that the consumption of polluted diets Cd causes deleterious effects on the productive performance of laying Japanese quail. The addition of ascorbic acid or natural clay to the diets causes beneficial effects on productive performance traits, improves egg quality criteria and diminishes the toxic effects of Cd.
