EFFECT OF ADDITION IN IRAQI PROBIOTIC WITH VITAMIN C AND THEIR MIXTURE UNDER HEAT STRESS SOME HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARATERISTICS JAPANESE QUAIL
ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted in the poultry farm , technical college – AL Mussayab to reveal the effect of addition of vitamin C and Iraqi probiotic or their mixture on hematological characteristics of Japanese quail . A total of 120 Japanese quail (96 females and 24 males ) , 60 days of age were used in the experiment . birds were randomly allocated into four treatment , 3 replicated for each treatment (in each treatment 24 femal and 6 male ) . birds in all treatment wre exposed to heat stress at a temperature 36 ± 2 c° from 8 oclock AM at morning till 3 o’clock AM at evening by using aqueous brooders . the treatments were assigned as T1 ; control treatment (without any addition ). T2: birds in this treatment were fed normal diet with 250 mg/L Vit C drinking water . T3: birds in this treatment were fed normal diet with addition of 4 gm Iraqi probitic at a dose / kg of feed . T4: birds in this treatment were fed on of 4 gm Iraqi probitic /kg of feed and with 250 mg Vit C /L drinking water .
Results revealed that addition of probiotic increased significantly globulin level in blood plasma while , vitamin C or the mixture of both did not affect the globulin level as compared with the control treatment . Addition of vitamin C and Iraqi probiotic or the mixture of both caused high significant (p ˂ 0.01) on some hematological characteristics such as plasma glucose and cholesterol .
