A study was carried out to assess the effect of dietary incorporation of Peppermint Leaf Powder (PLP) on the performance of quails. Day-old Japanese quails (N=150) were distributed randomly to five dietary groups each with three replicates of 10 birds. Experiment diets were prepared with the incorporation of Peppermint Leaf Powder at 0% (T1: control), 0.75% (T2), 1.5% (T3), 2.25% (T4), and 3.0% (T5) levels by marginal adjustment of other feed ingredients. All the rations were made iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. Feed and water were provided adlibitum. The birds were housed in battery cages during the experiment period of 0-5 weeks.
Two birds per replicate and a total of six birds per treatment were slaughtered at the end of 5th week. Serum total cholesterol, LDL-C, VLDL-C, triglycerides (p<0.05), and creatinine (p<0.01) was significantly decreased with increasing levels of PLP. Whereas, serum HDL-C values were increased significantly (p<0.05) with an increase in PLP level in the diet.
Live weight, carcass weight, and dressing percentage were significantly (p<0.05) increased with increasing levels of PLP. On other hand, the incorporation of PLP from 0 to 3.0% in diet had no significant effect on liver, heart, gizzard, and giblet weights.
The meat quality parameter i.e., pH, extract release volume (ERV) and water holding capacity (WHC) of meat of quails revealed that incorporation of PLP up to 3.0% level had no effect.
Mean scores of sensory evaluations for all the parameters (color, flavor, juiciness, tenderness, and overall acceptability) of meat were increased significantly (p<0.05) at 3.0% PLP when compared with the other treatment groups.
It is concluded that PLP can safely be incorporated up to a 3.0% level in the diet without any adverse effect on the performance of quails.
