EFFECTS OF FENUGREEK, ANTIBIOTIC, IGNATIA AMARA AND GINGER ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE QUAIL

Abstract

Effect of fenugreek, antibiotics, ginger and ignatia on body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and FCR of Japanese quails was evaluated in this study. Fifty Japanese quails were randomly allotted to five treatments identified as T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4. Birds on T0 served as control and T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups were treated with fenugreek, antibiotics, ginger and ignatia respectively. Fenugreek and ginger was in powder form while others were in liquid form. Average body weight in different treatments were different from the control for body weight in 1% level of significance. Feed consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio in different treatments were different from the control for body weight in 5% level of significance. The birds fed the liquid form of ignatia showed better body weight, body weight gain, feed consumption and feed conversion ratio and are comparatively significant than those feed with fenugreek, antibiotics and ginger with those of control group.
