This study used 300 one-day-old, sexless, developing chicks of Japanese quail to estimate the ability vitamin C and/or garlic antagonize venomous influence cadmium (Cd) on hematological, immunological, and performance characteristics quail. The was separated into five similar groups 60 apiece, six duplicates (10 each) were given each sub-group. control group received a basal diet without any supplements. Cd nourished with + 80 mg chloride (CdCl2)/kg diet. 3rd fed CdCl2 /kg complemented 200 Vitamin (Cd+ C)/kg 4th by 500 dried powder G)/kg 5th diet, CG)/kg Results showed that in which added together Vit garlic, there an improvement both live weight gain (1-42 days) feed consumption (1-21 & 1-42 compared alone. addition alone seems completely improve cadmium-related increase alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels when control. Compared cadmium-polluted diets, got additives significantly reduced residue. In addition, group's serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) level decreased significantly. These data imply dietary supplementation (C) or (G) may be beneficial retrogressing drop G (IgG) IgM caused minimizing Cd's deleterious immunity.
