 ABSTRACT

A five weeks (0 to 5 weeks of age) feeding trial was conducted as per CRD design involving six dietary inclusion levels (0, 7.5 and 15%) of toasted guar meal (TGM) with or without enzyme and two levels of (7.5 and 15.0%) fermented toasted guar meal (FTGM) in a standard broiler quail diet as per NRC (1994). Each dietary treatment was replicated four times having 15 chicks in each replication. The study envisaged that incorporation of 7.5% TGM without enzyme supplementation and 15 % TGM with enzyme supplementation or 15% FTGM proved beneficial for immune competence and gut health. Supplementation of 15% TGM with or without enzyme supplementation and 15% FTGM found to be most effective in reduction of serum cholesterol and glucose level.

Key words: Broiler quail diet, immune response, caeca micro flora status and blood biochemical parameters
