EFFECT OF PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF SOYBEAN MEAL BY MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED MEAL ON JAPANESE QUAIL PERFORMANCE DURING LAYING PERIOD
The objective of this study was to determine the response to partial substitution of Moringa oleifera seed meal (MOSM) instead of soybean meal on Japanese quail laying performance; egg production, egg quality, some plasma constituents and reproductive performance. A total of 180 quails with 45 birds per treatment, each had 3 replicates (10 hens and 5 cocks each) of 9 week-old were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments as follows: non (control), 5, 7.5 and 10% MOSM of the diet. Quail laying performance was monitored over a period of 12 wks. Results obtained can be summarized as follows: The inclusion of 7.5 and 10 % MOSM significantly (P≤0.05) had higher feed consumption for the overall period compared to 5%MOSM, while all levels of MOSM significantly improved (P≤0.05) FCR compared to the control. Also, egg production % was increased with 7.5% MOSM than the other treatments. Egg mass was significantly (P≤0.05) higher for all levels of MOSM groups compared to the control, while egg weight was significantly increased with feeding 5% MOSM compared to the other treatments. Feeding quail layer on all levels of MOSM significantly (P≤0.05) improved the following egg traits compared to the control; egg internal quality unit, albumen height and yolk index. Also, 7.5 and 10% MOSM in the diets improved significantly the blood hematological parameters of white and red blood cells, hemoglobin and hematocrite % compared to the control group. The birds fed 7.5 and 10 % MOSM recorded significantly (P≤0.05) the highest value for total protein and globulin. On the other hand, using 7.5 % MOSM decreased A/G ratio compared to other treatments. Plasma lipid profile,total lipid and liver enzymes were significantly reduced (P≤0.05) but HDL and total antioxidant capacity were incrased when quail layer fed different levels of MOSM compared to the control. Reproductive performance significantly (P≤0.05) improved by feeding diets containing MOSM. It could be concluded that, the diet containing MOSM at 5, 7.5 and 10% of the diet laying improved egg performance, egg quality, HDL values, total antioxidant capacity and reproductive performance of Japanese quail.
