    EFFECT OF DIETARY INCLUSION OF MORINGA LEAF POWDER WITH AND WITHOUT ENZYME ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE QUAILS
    (SRI VENKATESWARA VETERINARY UNIVERSITY TIRUPATI - 517 502. (A.P.) INDIA, 2022-03) ANUSHA, PYDI; Narendra Nath, D (MAJOR); Tirupathi Reddy, E; Srinivas Kumar, D
    The present experiment was carried out to study the effect of dietary inclusion of Moringa leaf powder with and without enzyme on growth performance of Japanese quails. Day old Japanese quails (n=150) were distributed randomly into five dietary groups each with three replicates of 10 birds each and were maintained under uniform management conditions. Experimental diets were prepared with inclusion of Moringa leaf powder at 0% (T1: control), 3% without enzyme (T2), 3% with enzyme (T3), 6% without enzyme (T4) and 6% with enzyme (T5) levels by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. All the rations were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The birds were housed in battery cages during the experiment period of 0-5 weeks. Chemical analysis indicated that MLP contained 93.56% DM, 23.60% CP, 14.37% CF, 8.65 % EE,14.98 % total ash,1.43% AIA, 3.28 % calcium and 0.45% total phosphorus. Study showed that the body weights and body weight gains were significantly (p0.05) among the treatment groups supplemented with 0 to 6 % MLP with and without enzyme. The digestibility coefficients of OM, EE and NFE were not significantly different (p>0.05) among different treatments. On the other hand, significantly higher digestibility of DM (p<0.05) and CP (p<0.01) were observed in group supplemented with 3% MLP with enzyme (T3) and significantly higher (p<0.05) digestibility of CF was observed in groups supplemented with 3 and 6% MLP with enzyme (T3 and T5). The present study indicated that the feed cost per kg gain was 110.72, 105.68, 101.97, 104.13 and 102.13 ₹, respectively for T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. The lowest feed cost per kg live weight gain was observed in 3 % MLP with enzyme supplemented group (T3). Hence, MLP at 6 % with enzyme may be recommended in Japanese quail diet for better overall performance.
