| dc.description | The Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, is a species of Old World quail found in East
Asia. First considered a subspecies of the common quail, it was distinguished as its own
species in 1983 (Hubrecht and Kirkwood, 2010). The Japanese quail has played an active
role in the lives of humanity since the 12th century, and continues to play major roles in
industry and scientific research. In our country, commercial farming of these birds is
increasing day by day as the investment and maintenance is very low when compared to
other birds. Quail farming is very profitable like other farming ventures, such as chicken,
turkey or duck farming business. Meat and eggs of quail are very tasty and nutritious.
Quail eggs are very nutritious than other poultry eggs. Because quail eggs contain
comparatively more protein, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, B1 and B2. Quail eggs had
significantly higher concentration of cholesterol per gram of yolk than chicken and duck
egg. Jalaludeen et al. (2006) also reported that the eggs of chicken, duck and quail
contain 423, 884 and 844 mg of cholesterol per 100 g. The egg has more beneficial
effect. It cures cancer, high blood pressure, HIV AIDS, Ageing, allergy, bronchitis,
diabetes, digestive disorder, gallstone etc. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was conducted from January-April 2017 at the poultry farm under the
Dairy and Poultry Science Department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and
Technology University, Dinajpur to investigate the effects of dietary garlic powder on
production performance, egg yolk cholesterol and microbial load in cloaca of laying
quails. In this study, ninety-six 70-days old laying quail were allocated into four dietary
treatments with three replication of eight (8) birds in each. Diets were supplied with T0
(control), T1 (1.5% garlic powder), T2 (3% garlic powder) and T3 (4.5% garlic powder)
garlic powder mixed meal for 12 weeks. Eggs were collected and weighted daily. Laying
performance, egg quality and feed conversion ratio were evaluated. Results showed that
the feed intake, egg mass, feed conversion ratio, body weight and egg qualities were
insignificant among treatment groups. The egg production and egg weight were
significant among the treatment group. However, the egg yolk cholesterol was
significantly decreased with higher level of garlic powder supplementary diet. Egg yolk
cholesterol was decreased at 12.20, 12.26 and 11.36% with 1.5, 3 and 4.5% level of
garlic powder supplementation, respectively. Supplementation of garlic powder mix in
the diet of laying quails significantly (P < 0.05) decreased E. coli and Salmonella spp. at
