| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: The present investigation is carried out to study the effect of dietary incorporation of coriander seed 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 a basal diet containing 24% CP and 2900 kcal/kg ME. During the experiment, coriander seed powder is included at 0.0% (T1; Control), 0.5% (T2), 1.0% (T3), 1.5% (T4) and 2.0% (T5) level by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. All the rations were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. Chemical analysis indicated that coriander seed contained 14.70% CP, 9.34% EE, 0.64% calcium and 0.35% phosphorous. Results indicated that the body weight gains and feed intake increased (P<0.01) while feed consumed/kg gain decreased (P<0.01) with increased level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% in the diet. The serum biochemical profile of quails revealed that the total protein, globulin, albumin, calcium and phosphorous contents increased (P<0.01) while serum triglycerides, total cholesterol and creatinine levels decreased (P<0.01) with increase in the level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% 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 incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% in the diet. Furthermore, serum glucose level decreased (P<0.05) with increase in the level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% in the diet. The digestibility of OM, CP, EE and fibre fractions increased (P<0.01) with increased level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% level in the diet. Similarly, the per cent nitrogen utilization increased (P<0.01) and percent calcium and phosphorous utilization also increased (P<0.05) with increase in the level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% level in the diet. Further, the study indicated that the meat to bone ratio increased (P<0.01) with increased level of incorporation of coriander seed from 0 to 2.0% level in the diet. However, incorporation of coriander seed at graded levels in the diet of quails had no effect (P>0.05) on carcass yield, dressing percentage, ready to cook yield and, per cent weight of heart, liver, gizzard and giblet. The feed cost / kg gain decreased by 6.15 (T5) and 2.72 (T4) and increased by 0.97 (T2) and 0.34 (T3) in quails fed diets containing coriander seed at varying levels as compared to the control. The present study indicated that coriander seed can be incorporated up to 2.0% level as a natural feed additive in the diet of quails without any adverse effect on production performance of quails. | en_US |
