Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary Salvinia molesta meal on the performance and blood lipid profile of growing quail. A total of 240 day-old quails were reared for six weeks.  The study used a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replicates. The treatments consisted of control rations without Salvinia molesta meal and fish oil, and rations with fish oil containing 2%, 4%, and 6% of  Salvinia molesta meal. The results showed that the use of a 2% level of Salvinia molesta meal yielded better body weight gain compared to the 4% and 6 % of Salvinia molesta meal group. Dietary up to 6% Salvinia molesta meal decreased final body weight, feed intake, and increased blood cholesterol. Triglyceride, HDL, and LDL levels were not affected by treatments. So, the inclusion of 2% Salvinia molesta meal can be used in the ration of growing quail without negatively affecting feed intake, body weight gain, first laying egg, triglycerides, HDL, and LDL of blood.   Inclusion of up to 6% decreases the performance of growing quail.
