Abstract

The HPLC analysis detected 435.14±6.67 mg/g (43.51%) of hydroxycitric acid (HCA) in the crude extract. Acetone extracts at the greatest concentration (200,000 µg/ml) were found to inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. enterica, with inhibition zones of 35.53 and 33.08 millimeters (mm), respectively. The MIC against E. coli and S. enterica was 12,500 µg/mL. The MBC values required to kill E. coli and S. enterica were 25,000 and 12,500 µg/mL, respectively.


The results demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the final body weight of quail chicks supplemented with 0.2% commercial organic acids and those receiving 10 and 20 g/kg of G. atroviridis powder, relative to the control group, at 7–8, 8–9, and 3–9 weeks of age (P < 0.05).


Furthermore, these findings supported the use of G. atroviridis as a feed additive for Japanese quails. Specifically, dietary supplementation with 10–20 g/kg of G. atroviridis powder significantly improves the productive performance of Japanese quails at 7–9 weeks of age.
