| Abstract | ||
| This study aims to determine the role of bee pollen in improving the reproductive efficiency of quail males raised at high density. The total number was 288 birds at 7 weeks old, randomly distributed to 6 experimental groups. The 1stgroup was placed at a rate of 21 birds / m2, 2nd group was placed at a rate of 21 birds / m2 and addition of bee pollen 20 g/kg feed, the 3rd group was at a rate of 21 birds / m2 addition of bee pollen 30 g/kg feed, the 4th group was high density 75 birds / m2, 5th group was high density75 birds/ m2 and supplemented with bee pollen 20 g/kg feed, and the 6th group was high density 75 birds/m2 and supplemented with bee pollen 30 g/kg feed. The results showed that adding 20g and 30g of bee pollen to the diet of 21 birds caused a significant increase in testosterone hormone. In contrast, the high density of birds caused a significant decrease in testosterone, sperm count and live sperm accompanied by an increase in the dead and deformed sperm. Furthermore, decrease in body weight. Adding 20g and 30g of bee pollen to the high density of birds resulted in a significant increase in testosterone, sperm count, and live sperm accompanied by a reduction in dead and deformed sperm and an increase in body weight. The study concluded that the high density of the birds' numbers had a negative impact on the bird's reproductive efficiency and body weight while adding bee pollen to the diet improved quail male body weight and reproductive efficiency. | ||
