Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of coriander seed meal (CSM) at varying levels in the diet of quails on serum biochemical profile. One hundred and fifty day old quail chicks were randomly allotted into 5 experiment groups each with 3 replicates of 10 chicks. CSM was incorporated at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% levels. All the diets formulated were iso­caloric and iso­nitrogenous. At the end of the experiment, blood was collected from 2 birds/ replicate, thus a total of 30 birds and serum was separated. Results revealed that the total protein, globulin, albumin, calcium and phosphorous contents were increased, (p<0.01) whereas serum glucose (p<0.05), triglycerides, total cholesterol and creatinine (P<0.01) levels were decreased with increase in the level of inclusion of CSM from 0 to 2.0% in the diet. Further, in this study increase (P<0.01)in the HDL Cholesterol level and decrease (p<0.01) in LDL and VLDL Cholesterol levels were recorded in serum with increased level of inclusion of CSM from 0 to 2.0% in the diet. The present study indicated that coriander seed meal can be incorporated up to 2.0% level as a natural feed additive in the diet of quails for production of low cholesterol meat without any adverse effect on production performance.
