Influence of Amla Fruit (Emblica officinalis)‎ Powder Supplementation on Some Reproduction Indicators of Adult Japanese Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)‎ Reared Under Hot Climate

Abstract EN

This experiment was investigating the influence of different levels of Amla fruit powder supplementation on testis histology, Hatching and fertility characteristics of Japanese quail reared under hot climate(36±2.5cº).

162 males and females of the Japanese quail were used at the age of 9 weeks, divided randomly into six treatments by 18 females and 9 males each treatment of 3 replicates (six females and three males).

Feed and water was ad libitum and the treatments of this study were: T1: Feed standard diet (control treatment).

T2andT3 consumed standard diet supplemented with 0.25 gm/kg diet vit.

C and 0.08 gm/kg diet Aspirin respectively, T4,T5 and T6 supplemented their ratio with 1, 1.5 and 2 gm/kg diet Amla fruit powder respectively.

The results showed that T6 increase significantly percentage of hatchability, area and thickness of germinal layer (GA) and (GT) .

while no significantly differences (P≤0.05) observed between experimental treatments in percentage of fertility, area and diameter of seminiferous tubules lumen (LD) and (LA) compared with control treatment.
