Abstract

This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of dietary unsaturated (soybean oil) to saturated (palm fat) fat ratio and Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZMEO) on performance, gut microbial and carcass oxidative stability of Japanese quails. A total number of 600 one-day-old male and female Japanese quails were allocated to 6 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement during the experimental period (1 to 42 days). Dietary factors were three different ratios of unsaturated to saturated fat (US/SF( of 100 to 0, 75 to 25 and 50 to 50 and two levels of ZMEO (0 and 0.03% of diet). Each treatment was replicated five times with 20 birds per replicate. Chicks fed diets supplemented with ZMEO had higher body weight gain, lower feed intake and better feed conversion ratio compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In spite of a significant reduction in abdominal fat pat, the effect of ZMEO addition on the relative weight of other carcass parts was not significant (p>0.05). The lowest and highest count for Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus were belong to ZMEO supplementation group (p < 0.05). Use of ZMEO led to significant reduction in TBARS concentration in breast meet (p < 0.05). Different ratios of US/SF were not affected the performance, gut microbial populations and breast meat quality. Dietary utilization of different ratios of US/SF with ZMEO led to significant increase in body weight gain, Lactobacillus population and significant reduction in abdominal fat and TBARS concentrations in the breast meat.
