| Summary: | The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dietary soybean oil and vitamins E on the growth performance, abdominal fat pad weight and crude fat per
cent of breast meat of the quail (Coturnix japonica). Three groups were arranged in this research which is T1, T2 and T3. For T1 treatment groups, the quail were fed with commercial quail diet without contain soybean oil and vitamin E. For T2 treatment groups, the quail were fed with commercial quail diet with 5% of
soybean oil. For T3 treatment groups, the quail were fed with commercial quail diet with 5% of soybean oil and 200mg/kg diet of vitamin E. Supplementation of 5% soybean oil and 200mg/kg diet of vitamin E enhanced quail body weight, resulted in less feed consumption, less fat deposition and lower crude fat content (%) of breast
meat of the quail compared to that control groups which fed commercial quail diet without soybean oil and vitamin E (control diet). Addition of 5% soybean oil without
vitamin E to commercial quail diet has a tendency to increase fat deposition. Quail meat with lower fat content can be produced safely in the aspect of consumers’ health by supplementation of 5% soybean oil and vitamin E (200mg/kg diet) to commercial quail ration. |
