Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary bile acid (BA) on performance, eggshell quality and apparent metabolic rates of calcium and phosphorus of Japanese quails from 16 to 23 weeks of age. Nine hundred and sixty Japanese quails of 16-week-old with similar body weight and laying rate were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 replicates per group and 40 quails per replicate. The control group was fed a basal diet, and the experimental groups were fed the basal diets supplemented with 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg BA, respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 1 week, and the experimental period lasted for 6 weeks. The results showed as follows, compared with the control group:1) dietary 80 mg/kg BA had a tendency to increase the laying rate (0.05<P<0.10), and significantly decreased the feed to egg ratio (P<0.05); 2) dietary 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg BA extremely significantly increased the calcium apparent metabolic rate (P<0.01), and dietary 80 mg/kg BA extremely significantly decreased the phosphorus apparent metabolic rate (P<0.01); 3) dietary 40 and 120 mg/kg BA extremely significantly increased the calcium content in eggshell (P<0.01), and dietary 40 and 80 mg/kg BA significantly increased the eggshell strength (P<0.05). In conclusion, dietary BA can improve the performance, calcium apparent metabolic rate and eggshell quality of Japanese quails from 16 to 23 weeks of age; under the experimental conditions, the optimal dietary supplemental level of BA is 80 mg/kg.
