Effects of Biomin on growth performance, lipid peroxidation and serum nitric oxide level in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica)

Today, due to residual antibiotics in meat production and increased bacterial resistance, there are restrictions on its use. That's why probiotics are bacterial or fungal origin Phytogenic compounds as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters used. This study evaluates the effect of adding synbiotic Biomin IMBO and phytogenic Biomin P.E.P composition on serum lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide impact on growth performance of Japanese quails were performed. Bomin IMBO including Enterococcus fasium (a probiotic), fructo- Oligosaccharides (a prebiotics) and particles stimulate the immune system. Biomin P.E.P includes phytogenic compounds (carvacrol, anethole, limonene), which is part of prebiotic compounds fructooligisaccharides. In this experiment, 180 Japanese quail chicks were divided into 3 groups of 4 replicates. Groups 2 and 3, respectively 1gr/kg Biomin IMBO and 1gr/kg Biomin P.E.P dietary received. The mean weight, feed intake and feed conversion was done on a weekly basis.. Blood samples to measure plasma levels of nitric oxide and lipid peroxidation were measured on day 35 and the end of the growing period. Measurement of serum lipid peroxidation using T-BARS and measurement of serum levels of nitric oxide were measured using the Griess method. The results show the effectiveness of the improved feed conversion Biomin IMBO and Biomin IMBO and Biomin P.E.P impact on reducing oxidative stress.
