The Effect of Replacement the Synthetic Methionine and Lysine with Indian Herbal in Improvement the Nutritive Value of Turkish White S0rghum in the Diet of Local Females Quail on Productive Performance

Abstract

This experiment was Carried out in the poultry farm of animal production department-agriculture college - Kirkuk university for the period 31/1/2020 until 29/12/2020 , the period of this experiment was 60 days and the aim of this study was to determine the effect of using herbal methionine (H.M) and herbal lysine (H.L) instead of synthetic methionine (S.M) and synthetic lysine (S.L) for improvement the nutritive value of the White Turkish Sorghum (W.T.S) in the female quail diet upon the performance . A total 288 females quail at 50 days old distributed randomly on 12 experimental treatments with 6 replicates (6cages) for each treatments and the number of birds in each cage (replicate) were 4 birds .The feed was ad libitum and water was available for the birds and the treatments were , T1 : (control) based diet (57%corn and the S.M + S.L were added for complete the nutritional requirements , T2: basal diet (28.5% corn + 28.5% W.T.S and the S.M + the S.L  were added to complete the nutritional requirements), T3: basal diet (57% W.T.S and the S.M + S.L were were added to complete the nutritional requirements ) , T4: basal diet (28.5% corn + 28.5% W.T.S and the S.M + H.L  were added to complete the nutritional requirements  ), T5:  basal diet (28.5% corn + 28.5% W.T.S and S.M + H.L were added to complete the nutritional requirements  ),T6:  basal diet (28.5% corn + 28.5% W.T.S and H.M + H.L were added to complete the nutritional requirements ), T7 : basal diet (57% W.T.S and the H.M +H.L were added to complete nutritional requirements), T8: basal diet ( 57% W.T.S and S.M + H.L were added to complete nutritional requirements ),T9: basal diet ( 57% W.T.S and S.M + H.L were added to complete nutritional requirements ), T10: basal diet (57% W.T.S and added 20% above of nutritional requirements  from H.M + H.L ),T11: basal diet (57% W.T.S and added 20% above of nutritional requirements  from S.M + H.L ),T12: basal diet (57%% W.T.S and added above 20% above of  nutritional requirements  from H.M + H.L). The results of the statistical analysis showed improvement the egg production (%H.D) for T5 birds (86.63%) by comparing that with T1 birds (82.19%) and the difference among the treatments were no significant . The Weight and mass of egg for the birds of the treatments (5,8) were best than  the T1 birds and the weight and mass of egg for the T5 was 11.81gm and 11.24 gm respectively while was 11.53 gm and 9.75gm for T8 respectively . Non Significant founded among treatments for feed intake and feed conversion ratio , on other hand the average of feed and protein conversion ratio for the T5 and T1 were (5.20 , 0.492 ) and (5.00 , 0.535 ) respectively , while the conversion ratio of methionine were ( 1.102 and 1.200) for the T5 and the T1 respectively . The best lysine conversion ratio was for the T5 (2.455 mg lysine/gm of egg) . The were no significant difference among treatments  for the external and internal quality traits of the eggs among the treatments except the difference for the yolk color score were significantly ( p<0.05) lower value for the treatments (3 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,10 ,11 and 12) than treatments (1 ,2 ,4 ,5 and 6) . the difference were no significant among treatments for the sensory traits. Founded lowest feed cost per one kilo-gram of egg production were for the birds of treatments and the averages of the  treatments were ( 1.144 , 1.145 , 1.229 ,1.209 ,1.122  , 1.235 , 1.328 ,1.202 ,1.213 , 1.301 ,1.276 and 1.279 dollars )respectively .
