| Description |
Prebiotics are alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in poultry diet. A 35 days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effect of xylo oligo-saccharide (XOS) on the performance of quails. 240 quails were randomized in to 4 treatments with 3 replicates of 20 chicks each. Quails were fed with basal diet (T1), supplemented with XOS at the rate of 0.1% (T2), 0.15% (T3) and 0.20% (T4). Dietary supplementation of XOS at 0.15 or 0.20% level in Japanese quails improved growth performance, FCR and livability. Supplementation of XOS significantly lowered mean total cholesterol whereas serum tri glycerides were not affected by the XOS supplementation. XOS significantly (P
