Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of Sesame by-product feeding on productivity, quality and chemical composition of local quail's eggs. A total of ninety six (96) four months old laying quail were randomly assigned to four treatment groups each with 24 birds. Each group divided in to three replicates with 8 birds per replicate. Four dietary treatments: T1as control group, T2, T3 and T4 containing sesame by-product of 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%, respectively were fed for 6 weeks. The first two weeks, diets were fed to the birds considered as preliminary period. At third week, the experiment was begun and productive traits were measured during the experiment period, while, egg quality traits and egg chemical composition were measured at the end of the experiment. The results showed significant (P≤0.05) decrease in Hen Day (H.D%) of all the treatment groups fed sesame by- product as compared with control group. Also a significant (P≤0.05) decrease of mortality% in T2, T3 and T4 as compared with control. The differences among all treatment groups in feed intake (FI) and Feed conversion ratio (FCR) showed non-significant differences. Significantly (P≤0.05) increased in egg shell weight (g) in T4 as compared with T2, but affect was not significant (P≥0.05) among the treatments in egg weight (g), yolk height (mm), breaking strength (g/mm2), shell thickness (mm), egg index and Haug unit. Also significant (P≤0.05) increases in minerals (ppm) Lead (Pb), Iron (Fe) and Calcium (Ca), was shown. On the other hand, insignificant effect (P≥0.05) on Cobalt (Co), Zinc (Zn), Arsenic (As) and Selenium (Se) in T4, T3 and T2 as compared with control group. The results also revealed that Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) in T4 was higher than other treatment groups, but Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) in T1 and T2 were higher than in T3 and T4. Also polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega 3 (n-3) in T3 was the highest and Omega 6, (n-6) was in T2 higher than all other treatment groups.
