Supplementation Of Neem And Nishyinda Leaves As Growth Promoters In Quail (original) (raw)

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of Nishyinda (<em>Vitex nigundo</em>) and Neem (<em>Azadirachta indica</em>) leaves on growth performance and hematologic parameter in quail. A total of 40, 14th day old Japanese quail were randomly assigned into groups T0, T1, T2,and T3 and continued up to 42 days of age . Birds were reared on cage. The group T0 was kept as a control whereas group T1, T2and T3 were fed 2% Neem, 2% Nishyinda and 2% (1%Neem +1% Nishyinda) respectively, with commercial diet. At 14 days of age the initial average live body weights of T0, T1, T2 and T3 were 25.33±0.88, 26.67±0.88, 25.67±0.33, 26.33±0.88 respectively. On the 42 days of age the final live weight ofT0, T1, T2 and T3were 117.33±0. 88, 124.33±1.76, 121.33±1.20, 130.67±1.45 respectively. The highest body weight was obtained in T3 followed by T0 which differ significantly (P<0.01) from each other. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) for the T3 and T1 were from the control g...
