"Effect of adding Octacosanol, wheat germ oil and rice oil to the diet on the biochemical characteristics of quail blood"

Abstract

"This study was conducted in the poultry field of the Department of Animal Production of the College of Agriculture at the University of Tikrit to study the effect of adding different percentages of octacosanol, wheat germ oil and rice oil to the diet on the biochemical characteristics of quail at the end of the beginning egg production stage of egg production exceeding 50% at the age of 45 days and continued For three production periods (90 days) at the age of 135 days, 360 birds of the age of one day were used, and they were distributed randomly into six experimental treatments, by 60 chicks for one treatment that included four replications (15 chicks / replicate), and the fodder was provided to the birds distributed in 6 transactions as follows: The first treatment T1 represented a control treatment without any addition, the second treatment T2 plus 15 mg octacosanol/kg feed, the third treatment T3 plus 20 mg octacosanol/kg feed, the fourth treatment T4 plus 25 mg octacosanol/kg feed, the fifth treatment T5 To which 5 ml of wheat germ oil/kg of feed was added, and the sixth treatment T6 was added to 5 ml of rice oil/kg of feed. The level of total protein, albumin, globulin, triglycerides, cholesterol, and acid was measured. Uric, glucose, AST and ALT enzymes. The results showed a significant superiority (P≤0.05) for the third, fourth and sixth treatments in the level of total protein for males, and the third treatment recorded a significant superiority in the level of albumin, and for globulin, all experiment treatments outperformed the second and control treatments, while for females, all experiment treatments outperformed the treatment. Control in the concentration of total protein and globulin, on the other hand, triglycerides, cholesterol, uric acid and glucose were significantly decreased in all treatments of the experiment and for both sexes compared to the control treatment.
