Abstract :

   Co-administration of vitamin E and selenium has positive effects on growth performance of avian species, but their effect is not fully elicited in the Japanese quail. Also, controversial reports exist for the effect of vitamin E and selenium on avian performance. This study was designed to investigate the effect of different levels of selenium (0, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg) and vitamin E (0, 150 and 300 mg/kg) in the diet of the Japanese quail. Birds received mesh diet from the start of the study, then selenium and vitamin E were added on day 17. At the end of the study, after food deprivation for 6 hours, Japanese quail (1 male and 1 female) were selected and blood samples collected for biochemical investigations and determination of glucose, albumin, total protein, cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL levels. There was significant decrease in cholesterol, glucose, and triglyceride levels and significant decrease in albumin and total protein levels on day 35 (p<0.05). Effect of vitamin E and selenium was not significant on serum LDL level but, administration of vitamin E significantly increased serum HDL levels (p<0.05). These results suggest that co-administration of selenium and vitamin E could have positive effects on blood biochemical parameters in the Japanese quail.
