Investigation the effect of Hydroethanolic saffron petal's extracts on performance, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters of Japanese quail

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hydroethanolic saffron petals’ extract (HSPE) on yield, carcass characteristics and blood biochemical parameters ofJapanese quail. A total of 120quails were arranged into 12 units with 3 treatments based on a completely randomized design. Each dietary treatment had 3 replications with 10 birds. Treatments were included 350 and 700 ppm of hydroethanolic saffron petals’ extract and control. The birds were received isocaloric and isonitrigenous diets. Water and diets were supplied ad-libitum. Two quails from each pen were selected and slaughtered. The carcass parameters were weighed and the relative weights of them were calculated. The data were analyzed by SAS software. The results revealed that inclusion of hydroethanolic saffron petals’ extract toquail diets were improved the body weight and FCR. The relative weight of breast, thigh, pancreases, and heart did not affected by dietary treatments. The relative weight of fabricus bursa was increased when birds received the HSPE. Addition of hydroethanolic saffron petals’ extract decreased serum cholesterol and triglyceride of quail. The HDL,LDLand total protein concentration were not affected by the treatments. Therefore, supplementation ofhydroethanolic saffron petals’ extract to diet may improve the yield and cholesterol of Japanese quail.

Therefore supplementation of Hydro ethanolic saffron petals’ extract to diet may be improved the performance and cholesterol of Japanese quail. Therefore supplementation of Hydro ethanolic saffron petals’ extract to diet may be improved the performance and cholesterol of Japanese quail. Therefore supplementation of Hydro ethanolic saffron petals’ extract to diet may be improved the performance and cholesterol of Japanese quail. Therefore supplementation of Hydro ethanolic.
