The use of colostrum (beestings or first milk from cows) in quails' diet can play an important role in providing probiotics and reducing the need for antibiotics, which, in addition to better quail performance, is effective in reducing environmental impacts. The results of the current research show that the continuous use of bovine colostrum (BC) in laying quails' diets has beneficial effects on their performance, egg traits, blood indexes and antioxidant status.}, subject = {antioxidant}, language = {en} }
