Popis: Denli, M., Okan, F. and Uluocak, A.N. 2004. Effect of dietary black seed (Nigella sativa L.) extract supplementation on laying performance and egg quality of quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). J. Appl. Anim. Res., 26: 73–76. To measure the influence of dietary black seed extracts on performance and egg quality characteristics in laying quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) from 9–21 weeks of age, a total 45 layer quail (8 weeks, 226.3 g), were randomly distributed into three groups. The black seed extracts were supplemented at 0, 1 and 2glkgina standard layer diet and each of the three test diets was offered ad libitum to birds housed individually in laying cages from 9 to 21 weeks of age. The egg production, feed efficiency, egg weight, shell weight, shell thickness, albumen height, albumen length and yolk height were higher in the group consuming 1 g/kg black seed extracts (P
