Abstract Quail farming has long been a vital agricultural industry in Egypt. Its enhancement is one of the primary goals of both the corporate and public sectors. Quail was prolific, grew quickly, had a small body size, and produced a lot of meat. The quail production industry has shown substantial progress in recent years. This tremendous advancement was accompanied by a large rise in output rates, whether for meat or eggs. Unfortunately, this development has unfavorable consequences, including a decrease in immune-response and antioxidant status. As a result, several synthetic feed additives, such as pharmaceuticals and antibiotics (antimicrobial agents), were utilized as growth promoters in their diets to enhance productivity, adjust gut microbiota, manage diseases, and enhance immune response (Bedford, 2000; Whitehead, 2002). Different approaches have been implemented to increase the return on quail investment for the sustainability of the quail sector and its primary role in providing high-quality animal protein, and dietary modulation represents a noticeable way in altering animal performance (Akbari et al., 2016, 2018; El-Senousey et al., 2018). In terms of nutrition, delivering a well-balanced diet that meets all nutritional requirements is the foundation of a successful production (Uniyal et al., 2017; Sebola et al., 2018). Feed additives may be used to mitigate the effects of various nutritional abnormalities. |
