Item Effects of functional feed additives on total antioxidant status, lipid peroxidation and blood ındicators of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016-04-08) Vahdatpour, Tohid; Monadi-Sefidan, Alireza; Maheri-Sis, Naser; Sandoghchian-Shotorbani, SiamakThe purpose of present research was to investigate effects of a probiotic, a prebiotic and two synbiotics consumption on total antioxidant (TAO) capacity, malondialdehyde (MDA) level, percentages of heterophils, lymphocytes, heterophils /lymphocytes (H/L) ratio as a stress indicator, and albumin, globulin and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio as a oncotic pressure indicator of blood in Japanese quails. The experimental diets consisted of a basal diet without additive (control), protexin® as a probiotic, fermacto® as a prebiotic, mixed of protexin® and fermacto® as a synbiotic, and Biomin-IMBO® as a other synbiotic, were added to the basal diet and with water were available ad libitum from 1 to 42 days of age of quails. The consumption of these additives had not significant effect on TAO capacity in females and on MDA in both genders, but consumption of prebiotic caused enhancement of TAO capacity of males (P<0.05). The H/L ratio of females fed by additives especially Biomin-IMBO® were lower comparison to control group (P<0.05). The blood albumin was enhanced in males fed by additives especially mixed of protexin® and fermacto® as synbiotic (P<0.05). The A/G ratio was increased by consumption of additives especially with each two synbiotics (P<0.05). The results show that the combination of probiotic and prebiotic as synbiotic is benefit additive for quails feeding. The synergetic effects of synbiotics in improving of live benefit microbial, absorption of necessary nutrients and providing of suitable environment in the gastrointestinal tract are important for health of blood indicators in Japanese quails.Item Effects of replacing corn grain by reconstituted or un-reconstituted sorghum grain on blood biochemical parameters in Japanese quails(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015-10-08) Emami, Fayyaz; Sis, Naser Maheri; Vahdatpour, Tohid; Ghorbani, AbolfazlCurrent study was carried out to evaluate effects of replacing un-reconstituted or reconstituted sorghum grain with corn grain on blood constituents in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Seven hundred day-old unsexed quail chicks were fed basal diet and raised in cage system for 20 day. At day 21 quails were sexed and 300 male chicks reared for 21 day experimental period (21-42). Experimental birds were divided into 5 treatment groups (4 replicates contain 15 birds per pen). Experimental treatments were: (A) diet contains corn grain and without sorghum (control), (B) replacing 50% reconstituted sorghum, (C) replacing 50% unreconstituted sorghum, (D) replacing 100% reconstituted sorghum, and (E) replacing 100% un-reconstituted sorghum grain in place of corn grain, respectively. A 6-h prior the end of the study birds were deprived from food. Blood samples were taken and serum cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride, total protein, urea, uric acid and glucose levels evaluated by colorimetric method using auto analyzer. According to the results, there was a significant difference on serum triglyceride, urea, total protein and glucose between experimental groups compared to control group (P< 0.05). These results suggest that replacing reconstituted sorghum had better effects than un-reconstituted sorghum on blood constituents in Japanese quails.
