Abstract

A feeding trial was conducted to discern the influence of dietary incorporation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal on biochemical parameters of Japanese quail. A total 288 day-old Japanese quail chicks were randomly distributed into eight treatments of 36 Japanese quail chicks per treatment with three replicates of 12 quail in each. Japanese quail of treatment T1 (control group) were fed a basal diet (starter and finisher), whereas in treatment group T2 basal diet was incorporated with Vitamin C @200 mg/kg, T3 basal diet was incorporated with Vitamin E @10 IU/kg, and in diets T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8, the basal diet was incorporated with 1.0%, 3.0%, 5.0%, 7.0% and 9.0% Moringa oleifera leaf meal, respectively. Results showed that significantly (P≤0.05) reduced serum glucose, serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum LDL, serum VLDL cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase and serum creatinine concentration in Japanese quail fed diet with 3.0% Moringa oleifera leaf meal. Significantly (P≤0.05) improved serum HDL, serum calcium, serum phosphorus level of Japanese quail fed diet with 3.0% Moringa oleifera leaf meal as compared to control. Non-significant (P≥0.05) effects on serum uric acid (mg/dl) and serum total protein concentration were observed when Japanese quails fed diet with different levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal. It can be concluded that 3.0 % Moringa oleifera leaf meal can be incorporated in feed for improvement in lipid profile, liver function enzyme of Japanese quail

Keywords

Biochemical parameters, Japanese quail, Moringa oleifera leaf meal.

Conclusion

Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that 3% Moringa oleifera leaf meal can be incorporated in feed for improvement of biochemical parameters of the Japanese quail.
