Effects of Cumin Seeds in some physiological characteristics ofquail

Abstract

The present trail was conducted to know the effects of Cumin seeds powder at different concentrates (250, 500, 1000, 2000) mg/kg B.W on some physiological and reproductive characters of male Quail bird’s. (Coturnix coturnix) The study was included (25) male of Quail birds their age and weight were (60-75) days, (161-180) g respectively, the experiment randomly divided equally into 5 groups,5 for each group First group was given a standard ration and empty capsules dose, considered the control group. Second group was given a standard ration and capsules contains Cumin seeds powder at 250 mg/kg B.W, Third group was given a standard ration and capsules contains Cumin seeds powder at 500 mg/kg B.W Fourth group was given a standard ration and capsules contains Cumin seeds powder at 1000 mg/kg B.W. Fifth group was given a standard ration and Cumin capsules at dose 2000 mg/kg B.W, this treatments was daily continue for 4 weeks. The results exhibited positive outcome significant through their effects on some physiological and reproductive characters where it rose by the concentration of the total antioxidants capacity (TAC) as compar with the control group, the increase was clearer by treating the birds with the 500 and 2000 mg/kg B.W concentrations, with (p ⩽ 0.05) possibility level. The hormonals concentrations were increased such as Testosterone, Spermatogenic Stimulating Hormone (SSH) and the Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone (ICSH) compared with the control group with (p ⩽ 0.05) whereas the Corticosterone decreased over the whole Cumin seeds powder treatment groups within all concentrations compared with the control group at (p ⩽ 0.05), the decrease was clearer within birds group treated with 2000 mg/kg B.W concentration. The study results suggest that the Cumin seeds powder has positive effects over concentration of the total antioxidants capacity for and some male sexual hormones while inhibition occurs in other hormones as cortisol.

Dietary Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) Seed Powder Supplementation Had No Adverse Effects on Growth Performance and Carcass Traits of Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica

“…In addition, cumin affects systems such as aldose reductase (Lee, 2005), analgesic (Bhat et al, 2014), antiamyloidogenic (Morshedi et al, 2014), anticancer (Sowbhagya, 2013;Anu et al, 2016), antidiabetic (Sowbhagya, 2013), anti-inflammatory (Srinivasan, 2018), antimicrobial (Bokaeian et al, 2014;Belal et al, 2017;Al-Harbi, 2019), anti-osteoporotic (Samani and Farrokhi, 2014), antioxidant (Bettaieb et al, 2011, Koppula andChoi, 2011), antiplatelet aggregation (Sowbhagya, 2013), bronchodilator (Boskabady et al, 2005), contraceptive (Gupta et al, 2011), gastroprotective (Sowbhagya, 2013), hypotensive (Moradi et al, 2016), immunological (Chauhan et al, 2010), insecticidal (Negahban et al, 2012), alphaglucosidase and tyrosinase inhibitory effects (Lee, 2005), protective and central nervous system (Al-Snafi, 2016). With all these features, cumin seed powder (CSP), its essential oil (CEO) and meal (CSM) were used to improve meat, egg or breeding performances during the feeding of poultry (Mansoori et al, 2006;Aami-Azghadi et al, 2010;Ali et al, 2011;2012;Al-Anbari et al, 2013;Singh et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2018;Alkattan, 2019). Although cumin has an important place in human nutrition, cumin is generally among the spices studied by researchers in order to increase the performance of animals.…”
