    Abstract:

    In this study,different levels of taurine(0,100,500 mg/kg) were added to the diets and the effects of taurine on production,immune responses and antioxidative ability of quails were investigated.A total of 300 quails were allocated to 3 dietary treatments.Each treatment comprised 4 replicates of 25 quails.The experimental period lasted 6 weeks.The results showed that dietary 500 mg/kg taurine increased body weight of 3 weeks and body weight gain(0~3 week),decreased feed conversion ratio significantly compared with the control(P<0.05).Dietary taurine increased the ability of stimulation B-lymphocyte proliferation significantly and 500 mg/kg taurine increased the ability of stimulation T-lymphocyte proliferation significantly(P<0.05).Dietary taurine increased serum IgG content significantly compared with the control(P<0.05).Dietary taurine of 100 mg/kg enhanced the activity of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC) in serum,decreased the malondialdehyde(MDA) level in serum(P<0.05).The above results demonstrated that taurine can increase 1) performance of quails;2) antioxidant ability;3)immune function.
