The influence of BioR and Butofan remedies on the health and productivity of adult quails under reconditioning

Abstract

The research of the BioR remedy was carried out in a comparative study with Butofan and physiological serum (sol. 0,9% NaCl), on a group of 150 adult quails, at the end of the laying cycle, put under reconditioning, belonging to the English White breed. The BioR and Butofan remedies, during the 50-day study, did not cause any adverse effects or other deviations on quail’s health. It has been established that both the clinical and hematological parameters investigated manifested positive tendencies. Thus, the tested remedies exhibited adaptive and antistress properties, reflected also in lower body temperature at the end of the study: in the lot treated with BioR, by 0,32oC, and in the lot treated with Butofan, respectively by 0,18oC in relation to the reference lot. The laying qualities of the quails treated with the remedies taken in the study were superior to those in the reference group.
