ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of various levels
of supplemental stevia and ginger extracts (SGE) on laying performance,
fertility, hatchability, and serum biochemical parameters in laying Japanese
quails exposed to heat stress. SGE doses were added at the following levels:
0 (control), 0.5 (T1), 1.0 (T2), and 1.5% (T3) of the diet. In SGE-supplemented
quails, feed intake (P < 0.0001), egg production (P < 0.0001), and egg weight
(P < 0.002) were significantly the highest in the treatment groups (days 1–90).
Feed conversion ratio (P < 0.0001) was lower in the treatment groups compared
to the control group. The fertility index was higher in all experimental groups
(P < 0.05). The weights of hatching eggs were higher in groups T2 and T3
(P < 0.0001). Egg weight in the laying period was higher in the 2nd month
in control and group T1, and in the 2nd and 3rd month in groups T2 and T3
(P < 0.0001; P < 0.05). Hatched chick weights were higher in groups T2
and T3 (P < 0.0001). Serum aspartate aminotransferase levels in quails of
group T3 were significantly lower than in the other groups (P < 0.01). Serum
glucose and cholesterol levels were the lowest in groups T2 and T3 (P < 0.05).
Serum triiodothyronine levels in the treatment groups were significantly lower
(P < 0.01). In conclusion, these results suggested that dietary SGE improved
laying performance, fertility, and hatchability, as well as mitigated the negative
effects of heat stress on selected biochemical parameters in quails exposed to
high environmental temperature.
