| dc.description.abstract | A five week biological experiment in Japanese quail was undertaken with an aim to study the effectiveness of Amla fruit powder and Tulsi leaf powder as growth promoters on production performance and economics in environmentally controlled shed, Department of Poultry Science, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai-07. For this study 252 day-old straight run Japanese quails were randomly distributed into seven treatments consisting of six replicates each. Each replicate has six birds. The birds were reared in cages throughout the biological experiment and Japanese quail brooder chick mash diet was provided in control diet. in treatment groups Japanese quail brooder mash diet along with amla fruit powder @ 0.5 and 1.0% and tulsi leaf powder @ 0.25 and 0.5% and their combinations (amla fruit powder @0.5% + tulsi leaf powder @0.25%) (amla fruit powder @1.0% + tulsi leaf powder @0.5%) were used. The results revealed that there was significant difference between the treatment groups in body weight up to fourth week of the experiment. During fifth week statistically non significant improvement was observed in amla and tulsi treatment groups than in control group. The final body weight was highest in T3 (A-1.0%) group with 246.88g followed by T4 (T-0.25%) having 245.25g. Weekly weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) improved up to third week between treatment groups. But fourth and fifth week weight gain decreased significantly. (p<0.05) among amla and tulsi treatment groups when compared to control group. Cumulative weight gain (0-5th week) also was statistically not significant improvement in amla and tulsi treatment groups than in control group. Highest cumulative weight gain was noticed in T3 (A-1.0%) group with 237.0g followed by T4 (T-0.25%) having 235.0 g which is similar as final body weight. The cumulative feed consumption per bird (g) of Japanese quails reared from 0 to 5 weeks of age was not influenced by dietary supplementation of amla fruit powder and tulsi leaf powder. Supplementation of amla fruit powder and tulsi leaf powder did not influence the final feed efficiency of birds. Feed efficiency was improved significantly (p<0.05) in first, second and fourth week. | |
