The Effect of Vitamin E on Laying Performance and Stress Respoof Japanese Quail (Coturnlx coturnix japonica)
This study was carried out to observe the laying performance and stress response of the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) fed diet supplemented with vitamin E. Thirty six Japanese quails were reared and consumed either the layer feed without mixture of vitamin E (Control groups) or layer f...
