| Abstract | ||
| This study was conduct at the Quail Breeding Farms of Agriculture Foundation Research.We used Japanese Quail (Coturnix Japonica ) of one day old , light brown in color to study effect of Flax seed and Fish oil (rich in Omega–3) and Vitamin E on egg product parameter to Japanese Quails . Depend on supplements, birds distributed randomly into 6 treatment groups (T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) with 3 replicates , 25 birds in number for each replicate, considered T0 standard diet, T1(standard diet +0.015% vitamin E), T2 (standard diet + 0.5 %fish oil) ,T3(standard diet + 0.5 %fish oil + % 0.015 vitamin E), T4 (standard diet + 5 %linseed) and T5 (standard diet+ 5 %linseed + % 0.015 vitamin E), The diet corrected according to nutritional requirement of Quails . Birds breed on pins system during two period , parent generation from13/6/2009 to 22/10/2009 and second period was offspring generation from 11/10/2009 to 20/2/2010, in 450 bird for each generations . Quail birds vaccinated against Newcastle disease according to station vaccine program for two generations the parent and offspring generation . The first vaccine given in 12 days old and the second in 21 days old in drinking water from Intervet cooperation (Holland exporter) for both vaccination . The results showed effect of fish oil and linseed improved the productive parameters ( production percent , egg weight and egg quality parameter ) for quail bird , and this effect enhanced in the presence of vitamin E .The results revealed significant increases (P ≤ 0.05) in egg production percent in treatments (T3, T2 , T5 , T4 , T1) for parent generation and (T3,T5,T4,T3,T1) for offspring generation compared to control T0 and there was significant increase in egg weight in treatments (T5,T4,T3,T2,T1) compared to the control group T0 for each generations parents & offsprings specially in the presence of vitamin E with linseed T5 and linseed alon . The results of egg quality parameters (egg design and thickness of egg shell) had no significant differences . There was significant increases (P ≤ 0.05) in Haugh Unit and Yolk Index in groups treated with Vitamin E (T1) and control (T0) compared to other treatmented and control group . | ||
