The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of dietary zinc and l-arginine supplementation on blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), some blood chemistry parameters, and egg weights of laying quails. Three groups of Japanese quails were fed with a diet containing l-arginine (5 mg/kg), zinc (60 mg/kg), and normal basal diet (control) for 30 days. TAC, lipid peroxidation, and biochemical analysis were performed in the blood of animals. l-Arginine and zinc supplementation improved TAC and reduced MDA concentrations compared to the control (P < 0.05). In comparison to the control, blood NO concentrations were increased by l-arginine (P < 0.01) and zinc treatment (P < 0.05). Both zinc (P < 0.001) and l-arginine (P < 0.01) supplementation significantly increased egg weight in laying quails. Some of the blood chemistry parameters were also altered by … |
