A total of 120 female quails at 10-weeks old were used with four treatment groups, in three replicates for each treatment, and 10 birds per replicate. The first group (control) was fed a basal diet. Second, third, and fourth treatments were fed on diets containing ginger roots powder at levels of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75% of the diet. Egg production and exterior and interior quality of eggs were measured over eight-week period. At the end of the experiment period three birds were taken randomly from each treatment and slaughtered to evaluate blood parameters. The results showed that the groups fed diets containing ginger recorded a highly significant difference in egg production, egg number, egg mass, and average egg weight compared to the control group. On contrary, egg quality did not show any statistically significant differences except eggshell percentage, egg shape index, the weight of albumin, and yolk which was for the benefit of the groups fed diets that contain ginger. In addition, using ginger in quail diets decreased total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, glucose, ALT and AST and increase total protein, globulin, albumin and HDL-cholesterol. Also, results showed a highly significant difference in LH, FSH, and Estradiol hormones in groups fed diets containing ginger compared to the control group. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that the using ginger up to 0.75% seems to have a positive influence on egg production, egg quality and blood biochemical parameters in laying quail birds.

A total of 40 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits does 6-month of age, with an average body weight (2500±100 g), were randomly divided into four equal treatment groups. 1 st group (control) was fed a basal diet. The 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th treatments were fed on basal diet supplemented with 2.5, 5 and 7.5% of MOLM, respectively. Diets were provided to does throughout the experiment. Blood samples were collected at the end of the experimental period at 9 months of age from the marginal ear vein from each female rabbit for biochemical, hematological analysis and hormonal assay using standard procedures. In addition, conception rate (CR), litter weight (LW), litter size (LS), gestation length (GL) and milk yield (MY) were determined. Results showed that, using moringa in the diets of female rabbits caused significant improvement in their reproductive performance parameters and achieved the highest rates in CR, LS, LW and MY compared with control group. In addition to higher rate of reproductive hormones such as FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone and a decrease in LDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol in rabbits fed on moringa compared to control. It was also noted that there was an increase in the levels of serum total protein and HDL-cholesterol in the same groups compared with control group. Whereas plasma ALT and AST decreased with all treatments of MOLM and this indicated that moringa has a role to improve liver health. It was also noted that there were significant differences between all treatments with regard to hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cell (WBC) and lymphocytes. In conclusion, supplementing rabbit diets with 2.5, 5 or 7.5% of MOLM showed positive effects on hematological and biochemical blood parameters, physiological response, hormonal changes and reproductive activity of female rabbits, and it could be used as a sexual promoter for female rabbits.

A total number of 24 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits at 42 weeks of age, having an average body weight 3.00 ± 0.15 kg, were randomly divided into four equal treatment groups of six rabbits each. The 1 st group (control) was fed a basal diet. The 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th treatments were fed on diets at 2.5, 5 and 7.5% MOLM inclusion levels of the total diet, respectively. Blood samples were collected through the marginal ear vein from each rabbit for biochemical and hormonal assay using standard procedures. In addition to, semen samples were collected weekly for 8 weeks and were analyzed for semen quality traits. Results of this experiment showed that, the use of moringa leaves in the diets of male rabbits led to a significant (P≤0.05) improvement in ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, live sperm, normal sperm and sperm motility compared to the control group. The results also showed a higher level of gonadotropic hormones (FSH, LH) and testosterone in rabbits fed on moringa compared to control group rabbits, a decrease in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in the groups fed diets containing moringa. It was also noted that there was an increase in the levels of total protein and HDLcholesterol in the same groups, compared to the control group. Plasma ALT and AST decreased with all treatments of MOLM and this indicates that it has a role in improving liver health. In conclusion, this study showed that replacement of 2.5, 5 and 7.5% of MOLM inclusion levels of the total diet seems to have a positive effect on blood biochemical, physiological response, hormonal changes and semen quality on male rabbits, and it could be used as a sexual promoter.

A total of 180, one day-old quail birds were divided into four treatment groups, with three replicates per treatment and 15 birds per replicate. Birds in control group were fed basal diet. Birds in treatment groups were fed on diets supplemented with 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% Ginger. Body weights and feed intake of birds were measured weekly. Feed conversion was calculated, accordingly. Blood samples of three birds per replicate were collected at 42 days of age for biochemical and hematological analysis. At the end of experiment, three birds were taken randomly from each replicate and slaughtered, and the spleen, thymus and bursa were separated and weighted. Results of this experiment showed that, supplementing of Ginger to quail diets improved body weight gain and feed conversion ratio of quail birds (P<0.05), and also increased total protein and albumin levels (P ≤ 0.05). On the other hand, supplementing Ginger decreased serum triglyceride and plasma cholesterol levels in all treatments compared with control. In addition, highdensity cholesterol fraction increased and low-density cholesterol fraction decreased in all treatments groups compared with control group. Birds fed Ginger significantly improved spleen, thymus and bursa percentage/body weight compared with control group. Plasma ALT and AST decreased in all levels of Ginger and could indicate good liver health. In conclusion, results of this study showed that addition of Ginger showed a positive influence on growth performance, blood biochemical parameters, immuneresponsiveness and it could be considered as a growth promoter agent for quail birds.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementing Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on the growth performance and blood biochemical parameters of growing quails. A total of 180 seven days, unsexed quail chicks were randomly divided into four experimental groups. Each group was further subdivided into 3 replicates, 15 chicks per each. Four levels of MOLM (0.0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%) were used during the experimental period from 7 to 42 day of age. The results showed that final body weight and body weight gain were increased significantly (P<0.05) at the 0.2% level of MOLM; also, feed intake had the same trend, however, there is no significant effect on feed conversion values among treatments. The levels of MOLM significantly increased dressing percentage, head, liver, heart, gizzard and total edible parts weight except 0.6% level of MOLM. Blood globulin and albumin increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing the level of MOLM. Total protein was not affected by inclusion of MOLM in quail diets. Plasma cholesterol had lower level in all treatments compared to control. In addition, HDL fraction was increased, while LDL decreased significantly in all treatments compared to control group. However, Plasma AST and ALT decreased at all levels of MOLM compared to control group.It could be concluded that addition of Moringaoleifera meal leaves up to 0.2% improved growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood parameters of the quail chicks.

A total of 180 seven days, unsexed quail chicks were randomly divided into four experimental groups. Each group was further subdivided into 3 replicates, 15 chicks per each. Four levels of MOSM (0.0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6%) were fed during the experimental period for 6 weeks duration. The results showed that, birds fed on 0.2 % MOSM gained significantly higher body weight and body weight gain than birds fed the control diet. The lowest feed consumption (P≤0.01), best feed conversion ratio were obtained by using 0.4% MOSM compared to control group and other treatments MOSM. Dressing, liver, heart, gizzard and giblets significantly increased by feeding quail birds on levels 0.2, and 0.4% MOSM respectively compared to the control group and those fed 0.6% MOSM. Group fed diet supplemented with 0.2% MOSM significantly (P≤0.05) had the higher total edible parts compared with control group and other treatment groups. Birds fed diet without any MOSM insignificantly had higher total protein, albumin and A/G ratio compared to those fed diet supplemented with 0.2, 0.4 MOSM treatment. Birds fed diet Supplemented with 0.6% MOSM lead to significant increasing in the blood glucose as compared to control and other treatments. Blood cholesterol, ALT and AST had lower level in all treatments compared to control group. Inclusion, the present results showed that the use of MOSM at levels of 0.2 or 0.4% improved quail performance and economic efficiency.
