Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary vitamin C supplementation on some egg production traits and eggshell quality in Japanese quails reared under high ambient temperature. One hundred fifty-eight 11-week-old female Japanese quails were used. The birds were divided into 4 dietary treatment groups according to vitamin C levels as follows: control (basal ration), treatment I (basal ration + 150 ppm vitamin C), treatment II (basal ration + 250 ppm vitamin C) and treatment III (basal ration + 500 ppm vitamin C). The quails were housed for 9 weeks at high ambient temperature (34 ± 2 °C). No statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) among the treatment groups for livability was observed. The mean egg production of the control and treatments I, II and III groups were 83.13%, 82.54%, 83.29% and 86.43%, respectively. Treatment III's average was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of the other groups. Vitamin C supplementation had no effect on feed consumption, feed conversion ratio or eggshell thickness. The average egg and eggshell weights (g) of the control and treatments I, II and III groups were 9.77, 9.66, 9.89 and 9.63 g and 0.82, 0.80, 0.83 and 0.80 g, respectively. In conclusion, adding vitamin C to the quail ration under heat stress had no significant effect on production traits with the exception of egg production in laying Japanese quails.

Özet

Bu çalışma, yüksek çevre sıcaklığında barındırılan Japon bıldırcınlarında rasyona vitamin C ilavesinin bazı yumurta verim ve kabuk kalite özellikleri üzerine olan etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada 11 haftalık yaştaki 158 adet dişi Japon bıldırcını kullanılmış, hayvanlar kontrol, rasyonlarına eklenen vitamin C miktarlarına göre deneme grubu I (150 ppm vitamin C), deneme grubu 11 (250 ppm vitamin C) ve deneme grubu 111 (500 ppm vitamin C) olmak üzere dört gruba ayrılmıştır. Gruplar dokuz hafta boyunca sıcak stresinde tutulmuştur (34 ± 2 °C). Araştırma sonunda, yaşama gücü bakımından gruplar arasında istatistiksel önemde farklılık saptanamamıştır. Yumurta verim ortalamaları; kontrol, deneme 1, II ve 111 gruplarında sırasıyla % 83,13, % 82,54, % 83,29 ve % 86,43 olarak belirlenmiş, deneme 111 grubu diğer gruplardan istatistik olarak önemli düzeyde farklı bulunmuştur (P < 0,05). Rasyona vitamin C katkısının yem tüketimi, yemden yararlanma oranı ve kabuk kalınlığına etkisi önemsiz olarak saptanmıştır. Ortalama yumurta ağırlığı (g) ve kabuk ağırlığı (g) değerleri kontrol, deneme 1,11 ve 111 gruplarında sırasıyla 9,77, 9,66, . 9,89 ve 9,63, ve 0,82, 0,80, 0,83 ve 0,80 g olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; sıcak stresi, altında yetiştirilen yumurtlama dönemindeki Japon bıldırcınlarında rasyona vitamin C ilavesinin yumurta verimi hariç, diğer verim özelliklerine yararlı bir etkisi saptanamamıştır
