Each experimental unit consists of 12 quails which were arranged in four treatmets and four replicates. After 42 days of age, an examination of 240 quails were conduted in order to test the criteria of live weight, slaughter weight and carcass characteristics. Quails were fed with mixed feed which were supplemented with mineral and vitamin ingredients from the respective preparations of 0.33% (premix 1), 0.5% (premix 2), 4% (PS), 4% (Calli). The findings showed that the supplemental diet of 0.5% Premix2 helped quails’ bodyweight gain (157.7 g), a daily bodyweight gain (4.30 g / d) and feed conversion ratio (3.68 g feed / g gain), which was better than those of the remaining treatments

This study investigated the effectiveness of Herbal Digestive Tonic (HDT) in supporting rumen functions and digestive performance in dairy cows. Twenty-six dairy cows were supplemented with HDT at 10g/cow/day for three days. Parameters such as appetence, rumen motility, salivation, feed intake, and activity level were assessed before and during supplementation. The results showed that appetence and rumen motility improved significantly on day 1 and day 2, respectively. Salivation and feeding intake scores also increased significantly on day 2. Activity level scores improved on day 2 as well. The study concluded that HDT supplementation can support to enhance appetence, rumen functions, salivation, and feed intake in dairy cows. The product performance and satisfaction score, as reported by end-users, was 2.92 ± 0.69. These findings have important implications for developing sustainable and efficient farming practices in ruminant production. Overall, HDT shows promise as a supportive supplement for dairy cows.
