| Abstract | ||
| This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of different levels of Peganum harmala seed powder in the diet on Performance and egg quality and carcass characteristics in laying Japanese quails. A total of 160 laying Japanese quails at 28 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates of 10 birds in each. The experimental treatments included control diet, diet containing 0.02 percent Virginiamycin as growth promoter antibiotic, diet containing 0.25 percent Peganum harmala seed powder and diet containing 0.50 percent Peganum harmala seed powder. Before the experiment At the end of each week of record-making were also fed egg quality characteristics and measurement. shell strength, Haugh unit, yolk index and yolk color index were measured. .Body-to-body ratio, Weight of body parts including (chest, thighs, back and neck, liver, spleen, heart, etc.) and length of different parts of the intestine were measured. Results and discussion: Feed intake and feed conversion ratio in treatments Harmal powder decreased and increased but not significant compared to the control Received the lowest feed conversion ration prove antibiotic virginiamycin is shown, but the difference was not significant. The results this study showed that the experimental treatments no significant effect on egg specific gravity, shell ratio, shell strength, Haugh unit and yolk index. According to the results of this experiment, it seems that the utilization of Peganum harmala seed powder at level of 0.25 percent of diet will result to improvement in egg quality of laying Japanese quail | ||
