COMBINATION EFFECT BETWEEN OCHRA A AND DON MYCOTOXINS IN BODYS WEIGHT , MORTALITY , SOME BLOODS CHARACTERS AND PROPORTIONAL WEIGHT FOR INTERNAL ORGANS FOR JAPANESE QUAIL

Abstract

The research included the study interaction effect between two mycotoxins ochratoxin A and deoxynivalenol in Japanese quail diet . The contamination of diet with 2ppm ochratoxin A and 10 ppm DON caused significant reduction in Coturnix japonica weight, 28.3 and 21.6% accompanying with increase of broiler death, 28.6 and 21.6% compared with control . The mycotoxins caused increasing in kidney , liver , heart , gizzard , by (198.41 , 150.8%) , (156.52 , 141.1% ) , (191.67, 168.75%) and ( 158.3 , 149.75%) respectively .No significant (P<0.05) decrease in fabricius gland by the two mycotoxins was observed .Significant (P<0.05) decreases were registered in compact cell , Hemoglobin ratio and in number of red blood cells , while significant (P<0.05) increase in number of white blood cells and Heterophil / Lymphocyte cells ratio were observed. The mycotoxins caused significant (P<0.05) decrease in total protein and significant (P<0.05) increase in uric acid in plasma. The presence of both of the two mycotoxins in the diet at the same concentration caused higher decrease in poultry weight , 32.23% and higher death percentage 35.7 % compared with 28.6% by ochratoxin A and 21.5% by DON of each separately respectively . similar effects were observed in blood constituents and internal organs weight .
