The effect of Betaplus probiotic levels in the diet on growth performance and histomorphometry of Japanese quail jejunum was investigated by using 288 broiler chicks with six treatments of four replications and 12 birds per each in a completely randomized design from one to 42 days of age. Treatments included: control group (without additives); three diets containing levels of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 g/kg of Betaplus probiotic; diet with deficient in protein, and diet with deficient in protein and contained 1 g/kg of Betaplus. Feed intake, body weight and increase body weight were measured weekly and conversion factor was calculated. At 42 days of age, two birds were randomly selected from each replicate and the traits related to carcass dissection were assessed. For histomorphometrical evaluation of the intestine, the jejunum samples were collected. The utility of betaplus probiotic at level 1 g/kg improved food intake, weight gain, conversion factor and some histomorphometrical parameters of jejunum (p <0.05), In birds were feed with level of 1.5 g/kg Betaplus, the villi thickness and crypt diameter and number of the goblet cells were decreased (p <0.05). According to the results, the use of Betaplus probiotic at level 1 g/kg in the diet improves the growth performance and histological parameters of the jejunum in Japanese quail.

Effect of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic in protein-deficient diets on performance and intestinal histomorphometry were investigated in a 2 × 4 factorial experiment. The treatments were arranged in two levels of protein (recommended and 10 percent less than requirements), and four types of additives (without additives, probiotics Gallipro, prebiotic Technomos and a mixture of them) in a completely randomized design with eight treatments and four replicates and 25 birds per each. Birds fed on low protein diet had more feed intake and feed conversion ratio (P<0.05). Feed conversion ratio of birds fed on additives (probiotics, Probiotic and synbiotic) diets was lower than of others (P<0.05). The Relative weight of cecea in birds fed on diets containing low protein was higher than of others (P<0.05). An increase in crypt depth of duodenum and a reduction in villi length in jejenum and villi length: crypt depth ratio in deudenum and jejenum were observed by feeding protein dificeint diets (P<0.05). Villi length in the duodenum of birds fed on additive-less diet were lower than of birds fed diets containing prebiotic or mixture of probiotic and prebiotic (P<0.05). Villi length: crypt depth ratio in jejenum of birds fed on diets containing recommended protein and mixture of probiotic and prebiotic were higher than of others (P<0.05). Villi length in ileum were increased by adding the mixture of probiotic and prebiotic to the diet (P<0.05). Villi thickness in the ileum of birds that were received synbiotic was lower than of birds that fed on diets containing prebiotics (P<0.05). It could be concluded that using of probiotic, prebiotic and their mixtre in protein deficient diets, improve the feed conversion ratio in Japanese quail by improving intestinal histomorphometric parameters.
