Abstract

The research was conducted to know the effect of  lemuru fish oil (LFO) and palm oil (PO) on blood plasma testosterone and sperms quality of quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The experiment used 15 male quails of  12 weeks of age. The birds were divided into 5 feeding treatments, which were; R-0 (control), R-1 (3% LFO), R-2 (6% LFO), R-3 (3% PO) and R-4 (6% PO). Data on testosterone level and semen quality (sperm motility, sperm morfology, sperm viability and sperm concentration) were analyzed quantitavely. Results showed that testosterone level of birds given 6% LFO was significantly higher than those given 6% PO (4.92 vs 2.44 ng/ml). Feeding birds with 6% LFO or 3% PO resulted in good quality of sperms as indicated by sperm motility (78.30 and 78.30%), viability (73.19 and 86.06%) and concentration (250.00 and 255.30  x109/ml).  In conclusion, feeding quails with 6% LFO or 3% PO were able to increase level of testosterone, HDL, LDL and sperm quality.

Abstract

Ninety six commercial strain were conducted from 14 to 42 days of age to evaluate the affect of utilization zeolite and on performance of broiler and fecal characteristics. Birds were divided into four  treatment diets (4 replicates of 7 birds each): K (control), KB (K+ 1% bentonite),  KZ (K+ 1% zeolite), KBZ (K+ 1% Z+ 1% B). The birds were fed initially for two weeks a commercial starter ration and followed by treatment  diets 15 to 42 days of age. All the diets were formulated to have 20% crude protein and 3000 kcal. ME and 0.91% Ca and 0.69% P for control and 0.34% treatments. Body weights and feed intakes were measured on a weekly basis. The manure from each group was sampled on weekly basis and the  moisture content, pH and ammonia production was determined. The results showed the utilization zeolite and bentonite or both significant differences (P<0.05) on pH and (P<0.01) fecal ammonia content, but not on feces water content, final body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and carcass.
