The aim of this study to evaluate the effect of β-mannanase. Lysolecithin and Probiotic on some reproductive performance and hormone profile in female quail. Six hundred one day-old quail birds were randomly divided to four treatments (60 birds/treatment) with 3 replicates for each group treatment (20 birds / replicate) and at three duration periods. The first period 1-7 weeks, second period 7-13 weeks, third period 1-13 weeks. The group of study were control was fed on a standard ration. the second, third and fourth treatments were given β-mannanase. Lysolecithin. probiotic 0.5 g /kg ration respectively. Blood samples wear taken for blood serum analysis. including estimation of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. The results revealed that the treated groups showed a significant increase in relative weight of the ovary and oviduct compared with control group. β-mannanase and probiotic groups showed a significant increase in the oviduct length compared with the control and Lysolecithin groups. There was a significant increase in the numbers of growing and mature follicles and weight of large follicle in all treated groups compared with control group. The 3 rd period showed a significant increase in the relative weight of ovary. oviduct and numbers of growing follicles. while the 2 nd and 3 rd period showed a significant increase in the oviduct length. About the interaction between treatments and periods. the best result appeared in the ovarian relative weight in the 3 rd period for probiotic and β-mannanase. the 3 rd period of probiotic showed a significant increase in the oviduct relative weight and for the oviduct length at 2 ed and 3 rd period for probiotic and β-mannanase. while 3 rd period of probiotic show best interaction in the numbers of growing follicles, as 2 nd and 3 rd periods showed better increase in the mature follicle's numbers and for large follicle weight in 1 st and 2 nd period of probiotic. The result also showed a significant increase in the FSH and LH level in all treated groups compared with control group. The 2 nd and 3 rd period were better significantly in the level of FSH and LH. Probiotic at 2 nd and 3 rd period showed a significant interaction on the level of FSH. On the other hand, 2 nd and 3 rd period for the β-mannanase and probiotic showed a better significant in the LH level. In conclusion. β-mannanase. Lysolecithin and probiotic supplementation to quail ration improved the hormonal status and enhance reproduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
