In the present study, chicory root powder (CRP) and inulin as growth promoter at 50mg and 100mg levels was supplemented in Japanese quail diet to investigate the growth performance, biochemical and intestinal micro flora concentration. Two hundred, one-day-old Japanese quail were used in a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments. At the end of each period, feed intake (FI), weight gain (WG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were measured. At the end of experiment (day 42), one bird per replicate was sacrificed for carcass weight, inedible organ weight and count the intestinal microflora. The FI increased by 100mg/kg of CRP in the 6th week of period (p < 0.01). The percentage of WG significantly increased at 100mg/kg of CRP (p < 0.05). The FCR increased in all treatment group compared to control (p < 0.05). The carcass weight and inedible percentage increased at 100mg CRP (p < 0.05). The biochemical analysis of serum glucose, protein, albumin, globulin, triglyceride cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, as well as enzyme of GOT, GPT, alkaline phosphate, acid phosphate, creatinine and uric acid were non-significant (p>0.05) changes in all treated group. The supplementation with inulin 100mg/kg resulted significantly lower (p < 0.01) amount of E. coli in ileal content when compared to control. In conclusion, chicory root powder and inulin can improve growth performance in Japanese quail by enhancing food digestion and absorption through microflora.
