IMPACT OF CINNAMON POWDER EXTRACT ON PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE, BLOOD PARAMETERS, DIGESTIVE ENZYMES, IMMUNITY, ANTIOXIDANT AND MICROBIAL COUNT OF GROWING JAPANESE QUAILS

Abstract

: This study aimed to investigate the effects of cinnamon powder extract (CPEx) on the intestinal microbial populations, serum indices and growth performance of Japanese quail. A total of 320 Japanese quail, aged ten days, were randomly divided into four treatment groups, each consisting of four replicates of 20 birds, for a feeding study lasting 38 days. The dietary treatments included a control group (a basal diet without CPEx)
