Abstract

This experiment was aimed at evaluation the effect of different levels of organic selenium on performance, quality characteristics of eggs and some antioxidant enzymes in Japanese quail breeder. Two hundred forty Japanese quails at eight week old with similar body weight were distributed according to a completely randomized design into five treatments and three replicates (twelve female and four male). Treatments were included: 1) Control (Co), 2) Co+ 0.3 mg/kg of sodium selenite, 3) Co+ 0.2 mg/kg of organic selenium (sel-plex), 4) Co+ 0.4 mg/kg of organic selenium and 5) Co+ 0.6 mg/kg of organic selenium. The results showed that treatment containing 0.4 mg/kg selenium had the highest weight gain (P<0.05). Selenium supplementation of diet had no significant effect on feed intake, feed efficiency, egg shape index, albumen index, yolk index, percentage of yolk and egg yolk color, Weights of carcass, heart and other parts of the digestive tract. Adding of 0.4 mg/kg of organic selenium in control diet caused significantly increase (P<0.05) in shell thickness, Haugh unit, egg weight, yield , fertility and hatchability percent in contrast to other treatments. highest weight of liver and abdominal fat was observed in control group. Therefore, selenium supplementing to diet had higher activity of some antioxidant enzymes that to control(P<0.05). In general, results this experiment was showed that selenium supplementing to control diet at 0.4 mg/kg organic selenium improved of body weight, egg production, fertility and hatching and some antioxidant enzymes activity that measured this experiment.
