ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of supplementary choline on amount of choline passing to quail meat and reduction of fat deposition in liver. A hundred and thirty-six one-day-old Japanese quails were divided into eight equal groups of 17 quails each. The experiment was designed based on completely randomized design in two controls and six treatment groups: high stocking density, basal diet, control group (HSD; control 1); normal stocking density, basal diet, control group (NSD; control 2); HSD, basal diet + 900 mg kg–1 choline (A); NSD, basal diet + 900 mg kg–1 choline (B); HSD, basal diet + 1800 mg kg–1 choline (C); NSD, basal diet + 1800 mg kg–1 choline (D); HSD, basal diet + 3600 mg kg–1 choline (E); and NSD, basal... |
