ABSTRACT

Inulin is one of the prebiotics that has been under further studies. Inulin is a non-sugar and polysaccharide herbal
carbohydrate containing soluble fiber. In this study, 20 male Coturnix quail were selected. Then the quail were
divided into two groups of 10 quail. Water and sugar solution of 5% was applied for feeding on the first day. From
the second day, the control group was fed with basal diet and the treatment group was fed with basal diet plus 1%
inulin. After 19 days, feeding was cut in 20th day and blood sampling was taken on the 21st day from control and
test groups. After sampling the body was weighed. In this study sodium review was performed using ISE method,
magnesium using XilidiBlue method, phosphor using U.V. method, calcium using CPC method, potassium using ISE
and ALP(Alkaline Phosphatase) using Kinetik method. The results of the sodium, phosphorus, calcium, potassium
and ALP in serum did not show any significant differences between treatment groups and control groups also there
was no significant difference between weights of body, liver and gizzard considering the control group and the
treatment group with 1% inulin. According to the present study, 1% inulin dietary consumption does not have any
pathological effects on average ALP, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus and no significant
differences was observed in the levels of these factors between control and treatment groups. Consumption of 1%
inulin is not recommended for weight gaining of quail but further investigations are needed from immunity point of
view.
