| 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 T to study the effect of Flax seed, Fish oil and Vitamin E on meat product parameters to Japanese Quail birds . 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 Quail birds . Birds breed on pins system during two period, parent generation from 13/6/2009 to 2/8/2009 and offspring generation from 11/10/2009 to 30/12/2009, in 450 birds 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 an improvement of linseed and fish oil and vitamin E in meat product parameters for quail bird and this effect increased in the presence of vitamin E . The results revealed a significant increase (P≤ 0.05) in body weight body weight gain in all treated groups (T3,T4,T5,T2,T1) for parent generation and (T3,T5,T2,T4,T1) for offspring generation compared to control group T0 specially in the presence of vitamin E with fish oil and linseed (T3,T5) compared to other treated groups , additional to that increase in hatching percent in all treated groups (T3,T5,T4,T1,T2) for offspring generation compared to control group . There is significant reduction (P ≤ 0.05) in Feed consumption in all treated groups compared to control group for two generation and there was superiority for offspring generation on parent generation and significant improvement (P ≤ 0.05) in Feed conversion ratio in all treated groups ) T5,T4,T2,T3,T1) for parent generation and (T3,T2,T5,T4,T1) for offspring generation specially in the presence of vitamin E with linseed and fish oil (T3,T5) compared to control group. | ||
