Abstract
The investigation was done to investigate the comparative effect of zinc in organic (ZnO) and inorganic (ZnI) forms in addition to vitamin-E alone or in combination on nutrient digestibility and meat quality of Japanese quail. The feed formulation for the experimental birds included 0+0+0 (A), 25+0+0 (B), 0+15+0 (C), 0+0+12 (D), 25+15+0 (E), 25+0+12 (F), 0+15+12 (G) and 25+15+12 (H), respectively. On all the qualities under study, the results showed a treatment effect that was statistically significant (P 0.05). The nutrient digestibility was remarkably improved when organic Zn+VE; but organic Zn was more digestible than inorganic Zn; while VE was most effective to improve nutrient digestibility in quails. The thigh meat of birds in groups H and F contained higher dry matter (29.88 and 29.82%), lower ash (1.73 and 1.62%), higher CP (22.49 and 22.31%), moderate ether extract (3.15 and 3.35%), respectively; showed similar trend for breast meat contained higher dry matter (29.99 and 29.81%), lower ash (1.70 and 1.47%), higher CP (23.49 and 23.77%), slightly higher ether extract (3.42 and 3.35%), respectively. The meat quality of male birds was superior than the female.
