Popis: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the changes on growth performance, carcass and some biochemical parameters of Japanese quail fed supplemental Resveratrol (Res). A total of 200 quails were distributed at equal body weights into four experimental groups, each consisting of five replicate pens having ten birds/replicate pen: 1- basal diet without Res (Control), 2- basal diet + 100 mg/kg Res, 3- basal diet + 200 mg/kg Res, and 4- basal diet + 400 mg/kg Res. There were no significant effects of the supplementation of resveratrol on body weight gain and carcass traits (P>0.05). Inclusion of Res in quail rations improved feed consumption (P0.05). Glucose, triglyceride, total protein was not influenced by the supplementation of Res (P>0.05). As a result, the findings of this study suggest that Res can be used safely as a growth promoter up to 400 mg/kg in quail rations.
