Effect of Graded Levels of Coriander Seeds Powder Supplementation on Physiological Traits and Carcass Parameters of Japanese Quails

A 42-day feeding trial was conducted to assess the impact of incorporating varying levels of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seeds powder on hemato-biochemical parameters and carcass traits on 225 Japanese quail chicks. The birds were grouped into five categories, each with three replicates, following a randomized design. The study revealed significant (P<0.05) improvements in hematological parameters such as hemoglobin, packed cell volume, and total erythrocytes count following coriander seeds powder supplementation, which were particularly no Table in the T3 and T4 groups. Meanwhile, total leukocytes count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration exhibited no significant (P>0.05) differences among treatments. The T3 and T4 groups showed maximum hypoglycemic effects. Serum protein levels witnessed a significant (P<0.05) increase, while liver enzymes remained non-significant (P>0.05). Carcass traits, encompassing dressing percentage and cut-up parts yield did not exhibit significant(P>0.05) differences across dietary treatments. In conclusion, the study suggests that supplementing Japanese quail diets with 4% coriander seed powder yields optimal effects on blood profile and enhances productivity parameters. These findings advocate for the potential utilization of coriander seed powder, especially at a 4% inclusion level, as a valuable phytogenic feed additive in quail nutrition.
