Résumé

A six-week feeding trial was carried out to determine the effect of feeding diets containing rice offal supplemented with natuzyme on the serum biochemical and haematological parameters of growing Japanese quails. Four diets containing rice offal at 0, 5, 10 and 15% were formulated and represented by A, B, C and D respectively. Diets B, C and D had natuzyme mixed with them at 100g/100kg as recommended by the manufacturer. One hundred and eighty (180) two-week old Japanese quails of mixed sexes were randomly allotted to the diets at 45 birds per diet in a completely randomized design. Feed and water were made available to the birds for six (6) weeks. Serum biochemical indices, Random Blood Sugar (RBS), Total Protein (TP), Albumin and Total Cholesterol (TC), did not vary significantly (P>0.05). For the control, haematological parameters, Red Blood cell (RBC), White Blood Cell (WBC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Cell Haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), did not vary significantly (P>0.05). Therefore, feed for growing Japanese Quails could contain as high as 15% rice offal supplemented with natuzyme for profitable performance
