A detailed study was undertaken in order to determine the safe dose
of mustard seed meal in the diet for Japanese quails which can be
used at the production level without having deleterious effects on
the growth of this bird. For this purpose, some 1500 birds were fed
different levels of mustard seed meal in isocaloric and
isonitrogenous diets. The results of feeding of these diets for 30
days show that there are no toxic effects on the growth of birds.
In fact the birds on the experimental rations were either
comparable or heavier than the control except 5% group. Different
biochemical and physiological studies were performed on the liver
show that glucosinolates present in the mustard did not have the
drastic effects which have been reported in the literature for
mammals and other domestic birds. The changes reported herein were
seemed to have more of the manifestation of the age rather than the
effect of glucosinolates.
