Effect of fenugreek, antibiotics, ginger and ignatia on body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and FCR of Japanese quails was evaluated in this study. Fifty Japanese quails were randomly allotted to five treatments identified as T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4. Birds on T0 served as control and T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups were treated with fenugreek, antibiotics, ginger and ignatia respectively. Fenugreek and ginger was in powder form while others were in liquid form. Average body weight in different treatments were different from the control for body weight in 1% level of significance. Feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio in different treatments were different from the control for body weight in 5% level of significance. The findings of the study clearly indicate that the birds fed the liquid form of ignatia showed better body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio and are comparatively significant than those feed with fenugreek, antibiotics and ginger with those of control group. Based on the research of the study, Ignatia amara can be used as a feed additive in quail farming to get optimum profit., Paper Link: http://ijsab.com/volume-2-issue-4/1446

This study was undertaken to observe the effects of spirulina (Spirulina platensis) and riboflavin in hematological and biochemical parameters against arsenic toxicity in Long Evans rat. Sixty male rats were taken to perform the study. Experimental rats were divided into five equal groups. Each group consists of 12 rats. Animals of T0 group were given normal feed and water and kept as control. Rats of T1, were given arsenic trioxide @ 100 mg/L drinking water orally. Rats of group T2 were given arsenic trioxide @ 100 mg/L drinking water and with spirulina @ 1 gm/kg feed. Group T3 were given arsenic trioxide @ 100 mg/L with riboflavin @ 10mg /kg body weight. Group T4 were given arsenic trioxide and spirulina and riboflavin with same dose up to 45 days respectively. Four rats from each group (T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4) were sacrificed at 15 days interval to determine body weight, hematological and biochemical parameters. Result showed that in group T1, body weight gain was minimum, whereas in group T2, T3 and T4 the body weight gain in rats were better. Reduction of TEC, Hb values were significant (P

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of Nishyinda (Vitex nigundo) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves on growth performance and hematologic parameter in quail. A total of 40, 14th day old Japanese quail were randomly assigned into groups T0, T1, T2,and T3 and continued up to 42 days of age . Birds were reared on cage. The group T0 was kept as a control whereas group T1, T2and T3 were fed 2% Neem, 2% Nishyinda and 2% (1%Neem +1% Nishyinda) respectively, with commercial diet. At 14 days of age the initial average live body weights of T0, T1, T2 and T3 were 25.33±0.88, 26.67±0.88, 25.67±0.33, 26.33±0.88 respectively. On the 42 days of age the final live weight ofT0, T1, T2 and T3were 117.33±0. 88, 124.33±1.76, 121.33±1.20, 130.67±1.45 respectively. The highest body weight was obtained in T3 followed by T0 which differ significantly (P0.05) difference among the mean value of hematologic parameters of quails. It is concluded that supplementation with 2% of combined(1%) Neem and (1%) Nishyinda leaves powder in diet in treatment groups caused significant increase in live body weight and weekly weight gain, feed consumption and FCR as compared to that of control group of quail., Visit for details: ijsab.com
