    Current 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.
