Study The Effect of Different Types of Probiotics on The Productive Performance and Egg Traits of Japanese Quail

Abstract

The aim of this project is to fortify the quail feeds with various types of probiotics and study the productive properties to recognize the best formula of probiotics for best production. The control group was feed on standard ration, Saccharomyces group was feed on standard ration fortified with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Lactobacillus group was feed on standard ration fortified with Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobactrium group was feed on standard ration fortified with Bifidobacterium bifidum and Mix probiotics group was feed on standard ration fortified with mixture of above probiotics. Body weight, weight gain, feed intake and feed conversation efficacy were daily recoded. The results showed at the mix probiotic group of birds appeared highest significant values (p<0.05) among the studied groups in weekly body weight and weight gain along the growth period. mix probiotic group showed high significant values (p<0.05) in their feed consumption (after the second week) compared with all groups of the study. These in turn reflex on values of feed conversion efficiency. The results revealed significant elevation (p<0.05) in feed conversion efficiency for control and saccharomyces groups along the study period compared with other type of probiotic that added to the diet of the groups. The mean number of eggs produced by birds fed on diet supplemented with mixture probiotic recorded high significant compared with another zstudied group. Although there were non-significant in mean of egg weight produced by different groups of the study, but the egg mass revealed significant increase in group of lacto, bifido and mix probiotics related to sacro and control groups. Through the research paper, we concluded that the addition mix probiotic supplementation has enhanced the productive performance (growth) in raising quail birds.
