Abstract

In this experiment, the effect of fermented sesame meal or its combination with probiotics was evaluated on performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, and humoral immunity of Japanese quails. In a completely randomized design, 480 seven-day-old Japanese quails were assigned to eight treatments, four replicates, and fifteen chicks per replicate. Treatments were corn-soybean meal diet as a basal or control group (1), and basal diet containing  35% of sesame meal (2), 35% of fermented sesame meal with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (3), 35% of sesame meal + Saccharomyces cerevisiae probiotic (4), 35% of fermented sesame meal with Bacillus subtilis (5), 35% of sesame meal + Bacillus subtilis probiotic (6) 35% of sesame fermented meal with Lactobacillus sakei (7), and 35%  of sesame meal + Lactobacillus sakei probiotic (8). The study results indicated that treatments with sesame meal, compared to control treatment, had no significant effects on the performance and blood parameters of Japanese quails. Birds fed with a diet containing 35% of fermented sesame meal with Saccharomyces cerevisiae had a lower relative liver weight than the control treatment, whereas birds fed with a diet containing 35% sesame meal plus Lactobacillus sakei probiotic had a greater relative liver weight (P < 0.05). Treatment with fermented sesame meal with Saccharomyces cerevisiae had a higher level of antibody produced against sheep red blood cells and Newcastle virus than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Findings revealed that up to 35% of sesame meal not only does not impair the performance of Japanese quails, and fermenting of this protein supply but can also improves the birds’ health.
