Effects of commercial synbiotic and electrolyte-multivitamin solution on performance of Japanese quail in a physiological stress model

Study on the effects of some additives to reduce the negative effects of physiological stress in poultry.
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of the dietary synbiotic Biomin-IMBO and electrolytes-multivitamin solution in drinking water on performance of Japanese quail under physiological stress.
A total of 240 one-day-old Japanese quail (Coturnix Coturnix japonica) were randomly assigned to 4 treatments with 4 replicates and 15 birds each. Experimental diets were 1- diets based on corn and soybean meal (negative control), 2- basal diets dexamethasone (positive control), 3- positive control 1gr/kg diet Biomin-IMBO®, 4- positive control 2 ml/li water electrolyte-multi vitamin.
Physiological stress significantly reduced feed intake and live body weights of quails (p Dietary Biomin-IMBO supplementation could reduce negative effect of physiological stress in Japanese quails.
