Abstract

Mentha and Thyme medicinal plants are the effective plants on the performance and immune system of poultry. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of 0, 0. 25, 0. 5, and 1. 0% Mentha and Thyme mixture on performance, internal organs, carcass characteristics, and immunity system of Japanese quail. For this purpose, two hundred Japanese quails on day 14 were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replicates for each (10 chicks per replicate). Consumption of different levels of Thyme and Mentha mixture had no significant effect on weight gain, feed intake, and feed conversion ratio during the different weeks of age or whole the experimental period in Japanese quail. The relative weight of spleen was increased by all the different levels of plant mixtures and the highest spleen weight was related to the birds fed 1. 0% of Thyme and Mentha mixture. Delayed-type hypersensitivity (cellular immune) was decreased by all levels of plant mixtures and more decreased at the higher levels of plant mixtures. The consumption of 0. 5 and 1. 0% of Thyme and Mentha mixtures caused the increased antibody titers as compared to the low plant's mixture (0. 25%) and the control diet. All plant mixtures caused higher lymphocyte proliferation and respiratory bursting as compared to control treatment. In conclusion, consumption of 0. 5 and 1. 0% of Thyme and Mentha mixture increase the antibody titer against sheep red blood cells, lymphocyte proliferation, and respiratory bursting ability and decrease the delayed-type hypersensitivity in Japanese quail.
