Abstract: Aim of the present study was the comparative evaluation of the effect of ground oregano, anise and olive leaves as feed additives on performance and some egg quality characteristics of laying Japanese quails. A total of 189 Coturnix japonica quails (126 females and 63 males), 149 days old, were randomly allocated into seven equal groups with three subgroups of 9 birds each (6 females and 3 males). A commercial laying diet was fed to the control group. The remaining six groups were fed the same diet supplemente… Show more

“…Recently, food additives with plant origin such as essential oils, have received considerable attention since substitutes for antibiotics are being used as a growth promoters [13] . Consequently, some plants have attracted increasing interest since they have an alternative feed additivies (antimicrobial, antiparaziter, anticancer, antioxidant, antistress and appetizing) and they can replace antibiotic growth promoters [14] .…”

“…Para os frangos que receberam dieta com folhas de oliveira na quantidade de 10 g/kg (T3) não foi registrada mortalidade (TM) durante o acompanhamento, diferenciando significativamente (p < 0,05) dos tratamentos T1 e T2. Folhas de oliveira foram usadas na dieta de codornas e promoveram melhoria significativa na produção de ovos em relação ao tratamento controle, mas não demonstraram diferença na taxa de mortalidade em relação ao controle (CHRISTAKI et al, 2011). Os benefícios do uso das folhas de oliveira foram atribuídos à presença de polifenóis e oleuropeína, conforme já indicado por Malik e Bradford (2008).…”

“…Como neste estudo, Erener et al (2009) relataram que a suplementação de dietas de frangos com extratos de folhas de oliveira proporcionou um aumento no peso corporal e melhoria na taxa de conversão alimentar dos animais. Em estudo realizado em codornas japonesas, Christaki et al (2011) …”

“…The previous researches mentioned about effects of the essential oils on digestive system and digestive enzymes successfully (9,19) and they have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immuno-stimulant and antimicrobial characteristics (6,18,25). Although both CO and RO have similar influences on these traits (14), it was found in the present study that only CO increased the egg production.…”

“…Due to the wide variety of active components, the additives affect beneficial processes differently. Most of them stimulate appetite and feed intake, others enhance the secretion of saliva, synthesis of bile acids, digestion and absorption of lipids (9,19). They can either stimulate the activity or the secretion of enzymes such as amylase, protease and lipase, a result improve digestibility (18).…”
