    ABSTRACT: The present investigation is carried out to study the effect of inclusion of cinnamon powder at varying levels on the growth performance, serum biochemical profile, carcass characteristics and nutrient utilization of Japanese quails. One hundred and fifty day old quail chicks distributed randomly to five dietary groups each with three replicates of ten quails and were offered diet containing 24% CP and 2908 kcal/kg ME. During the experiment, cinnamon powder is included at 0.0% (T1: Control), 0.25% (T2), 0.50% (T3), 0.75% (T4) and 1.0% (T5) level by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. All the rations were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. Chemical analysis indicated that cinnamon powder contained 5.06 % CP, 30.00% CF, 2.00% calcium and 0.90% phosphorous. Results indicated that body weight gain increased (P<0.01) while feed intake and feed consumed/kg gain decreased (P<0.01) with increased level of inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0% in the diet. The serum biochemical profile of quails revealed that the serum total protein, albumin, globulin and phosphorus contents increased (P<0.01) while serum glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and creatinine levels decreased (P<0.01) with increase in the inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0% in the diet. Further, the study indicated that the HDL cholesterol level increased (P<0.01) while LDL and VLDL cholesterol levels decreased (P<0.01) in serum with increased level of inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0 % in the diet. The digestibility of gross nutrients and fibre fractions increased (P<0.01) with increased level of inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0% in the diet. Similarly, the percent nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus utilization also increased (P<0.01) with increase in the level of inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0 % in the diet. Further, the study indicated that the dressing percentage (P<0.01) and ready to cook yield (P<0.05) increased with increased level of inclusion of cinnamon powder from 0 to 1.0% in the diet. However, inclusion of cinnamon powder at graded levels in the diet of quails had no effect (P>0.05) on carcass yield, meat to bone ratio, percent weight of heart, liver, gizzard and giblet. The feed cost/kg gain decreased by 1.02 (T2), 2.07 (T3), 2.64 (T4) and 3.31 (T5) in quails fed diets containing cinnamon powder at varying levels as compared to the control. The present study indicated that cinnamon powder can be incorporated upto 1.0% level as phytobiotic growth promoter in the diet of quails without any adverse effect on production performance of quails.
