Effect of Adding Chamomile Flowers, Oak Leaves and Probiotics to Quail Ration on Antioxidant Status Lipid Profile

Matricaria chamomilla Quercus aegilopsl aegilops l 450 ( 90 Coturnix coturnix /) 10 90 30 / ( 20 10 ) 5/ BioSB-Gold 5/ 10 / 0.5 / . . .The current Study was carried out in order to compare the effect of chamomile flower Matricaria chamomilla , oak leaves Quercus aegilops l , probiotic and antibiotic addition to quail Coturnix coturnix on serum antioxidant status and lipid profile, 450 quail (10 days age) were divided in to 5 groups (90 birds/group), the treatments continued to the age of 90 days. The 1st group: reared on standard ration, the 2nd group: reared on standard ration supplemented with chamomile flowers powder (5g/kg ration), the 3rd group: reared on standard ration supplemented with oak leaves powder (10g/kg ration), the 4th group: reared on standard ration supplemented with probiotic BioSB-Gold (5g/kg ration) and the 5th group: reared on standard ration supplemented with colistin (0.5g/kg ration). Results reveled that all the treatments improve antioxidant status as represented by reduction of the malondialdehyde (MDA) and the increase in glutathione concentration and the maximum effect was related to chamomile treatment. Chamomile, oak leaves and probiotic treatments causes significant decrease in triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL-C). . flowers, oak leaves and probiotic causes an improvement in antioxidant status and lipid profile of quail serum.
