“…It may be concluded herein that juniper berry supplementation to diets improved the flavor of feed and consequently increased FI. Such findings agree with the results of Lewis et al (2003) and Sogut et al (2012).…”

-The present study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented juniper berry (Juniperus communis) on fattening performance and some carcass traits of quails. A total of 150 one-day-old Japanese quail chicks were randomly divided into five groups (one control and four treated groups) with three replicates. Four different juniper berry levels (0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2%) and a control treatment (0%) were added to the diet. Juniper berry supplementation to the diets initiated at the end of the 1st week and sustained for seven weeks. Live weight, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio during the trial and some carcass traits after slaughter were determined. Juniper berry supplementation in the diet during seven weeks of growing period significantly increased body weight, cumulative feed intake, and feed conversion ratio of the treated groups. Carcass weight, carcass yield, and breast yield were also significantly increased by supplemented juniper berry. No significant difference was observed between viability of different groups. Supplementation of 0.5-1% juniper berry in quail diets has positive impacts on fattening performance and carcass traits.

“…In another study, nigella addition to broiler diets had significant effects on fattening performance and carcass traits (Sogut et al, 2012). Tucker (2002) reported increasing live weights and decreased mortality rates with supplementation of garlic, anise, cinnamon, rosemary, and thyme extracts to broiler diets.…”

“…Moreover, Azeem et al (2014) demonstrated a significant increase in feed consumption in broilers fed NSM up to 10% which could be due to the different ways of affecting body metabolism by NSM. The contradictive results were reported by Sogut et al (2012) who postulated that 7% addition of ground black cumin seeds to the broiler diets caused a significant decrease ( < 0.01) in feed consumption as compared with the control group.…”

“…Conversely, Edmonds et al [ 25 ] concluded that supplementation of HA and humic substances in diets resulted in significant improvement in feed intake. Sogut et al [ 26 ] observed that supplementation of 3% and 5% BC seed in the feed of broilers improved feed intake. In these studies, the level of BC used was much higher than the level used in the present study (0.5%), thus lower levels of BC might not be able to impart changes in feed palatability.…”

ObjectiveThe present study attempted to determine safe and sufficient growth promoters in poultry feeding.MethodsA total of 520 seven-day-old quail chicks were randomly allotted to eight treatment groups in a 4×2 factorial design experiment to evaluate the effect of different levels of humic acid (HA) and black cumin (BC) seed and their interactions on growth, carcass traits, gut microbes, and blood chemistry of growing quails. Quails were randomly distributed into 8 groups in a 4×2 factorial design, included 4 HA levels (0, 0.75, 1.5, and 2.25 g/kg diet) and 2 BC levels (0 or 5 g/ kg diet).ResultsIncreasing HA level associated with a gradual increase in final weight, feed intake and body weight gain along with an improvement in feed conversion ratio. Dietary addition of 5 g BC powder/kg diet gave similar results. The highest level of HA (2.25 g/kg diet) recorded the best values of carcass weight, breast yield, intestinal length, and intestinal weight comparing with the control and other HA levels. Total viable microbial counts decreased (p<0.05) with increasing levels of HA except the intermediate level (1.5 g/kg diet). The concentration of serum cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (excluding that 0.75 g HA) decreased (p<0.05) and high density lipoprotein increased (p = 0.034) along with increasing HA level. The interaction between the 2.25 g HA×5 g gave the best results regarding most studied parameters.ConclusionThese findings indicated that HA combined with BC could be used as effective growth promoters, with the recommended level being 2.25 g HA+5 g BC/kg of quail diet.
