Resumo
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of homeopathic products in diets of quails in the egg quality when submitted to different storage periods. In the trial we used 200 Japanese quails in a completely randomized design with 4 diets: reference diet, vehicle used in homeopathic products and 2 homeopathic products - Fertsigo® and Ovosigo® with ten replicates of three eggs in each. Egg quality parameters were evaluated during 3 storage periods. Data were evaluated as repeated measures in time, the effects of the interactions between treatments and time as well as their isolated effects were verified. There was the interaction between homeopathic products and storage time in the parameters of albumen and yolk height, Haugh unit, and yolk index, in which a reduction was obtained over time. For egg weight, yolk, albumen and shell, percentage of albumen, and percentage of eggshell there was a significant effect only for homeopathy. The inclusion of homeopathic additives increased egg weight. It is indicated the addition of the product with homeopathic basis Ovosigo® and FertSigo® in diets of Japanese quails in the laying phase resulting in better egg and components but did not influence the quality maintenance of eggs of Japanese quails in the periods evaluated.(AU)

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of different homoeopathic products on the diet of laying quails. We used 200 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) distributed in a completely randomized design consisting of the adoption of four experimental diets, with eight replicates of five quails each. The treatments were control (without additives), calcium carbonate (vehicle used in the products), Fertsigo®, and Ovosigo®. We determined the performance, egg quality, and blood biochemical profile of quails. The data were submitted to Tukey test at 5% probability. There was a significant effect of the homeopathic products Fertsigo® and Ovosigo® on the variables egg weight, yolk, albumen, and shell percentage. It did not affect the performance and blood biochemical profile (p > 0.05). The addition of the homoeopathic product Ovosigo® and FertSigo® in diets of Japanese quails at the laying phase is recommended because they resulted in the better weight of the egg and its components. Thus, the application of homoeopathy in the production of quails is a viable practice, since it is easy to manage, has a reduced cost, and exerts positive effects on the performance of quails.
Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a ação da inclusão de diferentes produtos homeopáticos na dieta de codornas poedeiras. Foram utilizadas 200 codornas japonesas (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica), distribuídas em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, consistindo na adoção de quatro dietas experimentais com oito repetições de cinco codornas cada. Os tratamentos foram: Controle (sem aditivos); Carbonato de cálcio (veículo utilizado nos produtos); Fertsigo® e Ovosigo®. O desempenho, a qualidade dos ovos e o perfil bioquímico do sangue das codornas foram avaliados e os dados submetidos ao teste de Tukey ao nível de 5% de probabilidade. Houve efeito significativo do produto homeopático Fertsigo® e Ovosigo® para as variáveis peso do ovo, gema e albúmen e porcentagem de casca. Não foram afetados o desempenho e o perfil bioquímico do sangue (p > 0,05). É indicada a adição dos produtos homeopáticos Ovosigo® e FertSigo® em dietas para codornas japonesas na fase de postura, pois resultaram no melhor peso do ovo e seus componentes. Assim, a aplicação da homeopatia na produção de codornas pode ser uma prática viável, pois é de fácil administração, com custo reduzido e com efeitos positivos no desempenho das codornas.
