Abstract
The physiological effects of black pepper and turmeric are great interest due to their antioxidant, nutritional and therapeutic content. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the physiological and immunological effects of black pepper to enhance bioavailability of turmeric and the effect combined black pepper with turmeric of growing Japanese quail. A total of two hundred unsexed 7th day-old from Japanese quail were used in this study, they divided into four groups. Each group was distributed into five replicates, 10 birds in each replicate. All groups were fed the same diet with supplemented 0.0%, 2% turmeric powder/ Kg diet, 0.5 % black pepper powder and the fourth group was given basal diet supplemented with a mixture of 2% turmeric powder/ Kg diet, and 0.5 % black pepper powder. All quails were fed the experimental diets from 7 to 42 days of age. The results revealed that turmeric, black pepper or combined both had significantly improved live body weight, weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared to control group. Additionally, results illustrated that combined black pepper with turmeric group had positive effects on protein fraction, globulin fractions (α, β, and γ-globulin), lipids profile, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) compared to other groups Additionally, combined black pepper with turmeric group recorded highly significant values of thyroid hormones concentration, T3/T4 ratio and improvement SOD, MDA and GPX concentration compared to other groups. Meanwhile, treated groups had no significant effects on feed consumption, liver functions markers (ALT, AST and ALP) and immunoglobulin A and M (IgA, IgM) compared to control group of growing quail. However, there no significant differences between turmeric or black pepper groups on physiological and immunological responses of growing quails.
