Effect of Enterococcus facium isolates from intestine of Coracias garrulus anf lactofeed probiotic on performance, blood biochemical, intestine morphology and microflora of Japanese Quail

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acidophilus bacterial isolates from intestine of Coracias Garrulus on performance and carcass characteristics parameters of Japanese quail. A total of 385 chicks were arranged into 35 experimental units with 7 treatments in a completely randomized design. The treatments were included control, spraying, drinking and sprying drinking of the acidophilus bacterial isolates, and spraying, drinking and sprying drinking of commercial probiotic. Two birds from each replicate were sacrificed and bleeding, then blood was gathered and plasma was extracted.The results were revealed that addition of acidophilus bacterial isolates and commercial probiotic did not affect feed intake at 47 d. The body weight was increased when birds received acidophilus bacterial isolates and commercial probiotic. The FCR were lower in birds received drinking probiotic and in spraying drinking acidophilus bacterial isolates treatments as compared to control. The carcass parameters did not affected by treatments. The results were revealed that addition of acidophilus bacterial isolates and commercial probiotic were decreased the serum cholesterol and LDL concentration of quail. The HDL and triglyceride were not affected by treatments. The protein concentration were increased in chicks received the acidophilus bacterial isolates and commercial probiotic. The antibody response against SRBC and IgM were increased in birds received acidophilus bacterial isolates or commercial probiotic. The jejuna histomorphmetry were showed that height of villi, crypt depth, and the ratios of height of villi to crypt depth were significantly changed.
