Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the antioxidant effect of the Thyme (Thymbra spicata L. var. spicata) essential oil on meat quality of Japanese Quail fed in various stocking densities. In this study, a total of up to 7-day age 300 Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) chickens were used and theexperimental period lasted for 28 days. The chickens were divided into 6 groups, each containing 50 chicks Control group (CONT), High stocking density control group (HSD-CONT), an antibiotic group (HSD-ANT), zahter oil groups (HSD-T1, T2, T3). At the end of the study, serum MDA level was found significantly higher in the HSD-ANT group than the other groups (P<0.01). It was determined that the stocking density has a significant effect on the pH and colour of brisket (P<0.01). Moreover, inclusions of thyme essential oil supplementation into the diets of quails fed in high stocking density provided various levels of improvements on antioxidant potantial, and especially thyme EO at 600 mg per kg were found more effective to ameliorete the detrimental effects of oxidative stress caused by high stocking density.

Özet

Bu çalışma zahter (Thymbra spicata L. var. spicata) uçucu yağının farklı yerleşim sıklığında beslenen Japon bıldırcınlarında antioksidan potansiyelini ve et kalitesine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, 7 günlük yaşta, toplam 300 adet Japon bıldırcın (Coturnix coturnix japonica) civciv kullanılmış ve çalışma 28 gün sürdürülmüştür. Civcivler, her biri 5 tekerrür ve 50 civcivden oluşan 6 gruba ayrılmıştır. Araştırma grupları; normal yerleşim sıklığında kontrol grubu (NYS-KONTROL), yoğun yerleşim sıklığında kontrol grubu (YYS-KONT), yoğun yerleşim sıklığı uygulanan gruplara sırayla 200, 400, ve 600 mg/kg zahter uçucu yağı ve 10 mg/kg Avilamisin katkısı yapılan grup (YYS-ANT) şeklinde dizayn edilmiştir. Araştırmada, 50x100 cm ebadındaki kafeslerde, normal yerleşim sıklığı 160 cm2/bıldırcın; yoğun yerleşim sıklığı ise 90 cm2/bıldırcın olarak düzenlenmiştir. Çalışma sonunda, serum MDA düzeyinin YYS-ANT grubunda diğer gruplara göre önemli derecede yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (P<0.01). Araştırma sonunda, en düşük göğüs eti pH’sı NYS-KONT grubunda belirlenirken üzerine yerleşim sıklığının etkisi önemli (P<0.01) bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, yerleşim sıklığı uygulan bıldırcın rasyonlarına zahter uçucu yağı ilavesi, lipid peroksidasyonu üzerinde doza bağlı olarak iyileşmeler sağlamış ve özellikle 600 mg/kg zahter uçucu yağının daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. As a result of the study, serum MDA level was significantly higher in the HSD-ANT group than the other groups (P<0.01). To determine the, pH and color properties in brisket, and it was found that the stocking density has a significant effect on the pH of brisket (P<0.01). As a result, inclusions of Zahter essential oil into the quils diets reared in high stocking density provided improvements at various levels on antioxidant potantial. It was determined that inclusion of Zahter EO, in particular, at 600 mg per kg level more alleviated the detrimental effects of oxidative stress generated by high stocing density.
