Abstract
This study conducted to clarify the effect of dietary supplementation of organic chromium (Cr), selenium (Se) and their combination on performance, immune responses, hematological and biochemical parameters as well as antioxidant capacity of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) under heat stress. A 90-day trial conducted using seventy-five, 10-day- old Japanese quails that randomly divided into 5 groups of 15 birds each. The 1st group received basal diet and was kept in a temperature controlled room at 24°C . The other four groups reared under natural summer months and kept in a room temperature ranged from (25.3°C to 36.7 °C).The 2ndgroup kept under heat stress condition and fed basal diet only. The third, fourth and fifth groups fed basal diet supplemented by chromium (1400 µg/kg of diet), selenium (0.3 mg/kg of diet) and their combination respectively. In heat-stressed quail group, the data of growth performance revealed a significantly (P<0.05) reduced body weight gain (BWG), total feed intake (TFI) and a significantly (P<0.05) increased feed conversion ratio (FCR). A significantly (P<0.05) reduced phagocytic activity (PA), phagocytic index (PI) and the antibody titer against Newcastle disease virus as well as high mortality rate. a macrocytic hypochromic anemia and stress picture of leukogram . A significant (P<0.05) reduction in total proteins, albumin and thyroid hormones concentrations together with a significantly (P<0.05) elevated activity of serum AST, LDH, raised total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose concentrations. Moreover, a significant (P<0.05) increase for lipid peroxidation marker (MDA) and a significant (P<0.05) reduction of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total anti-oxidant capacity (TAC). However, simultaneous dietary supplementation with organic Cr and/or Se alleviated heat stress adverse effects. It could be concluded that combined dietary supplementation of organic Cr and Se can be considered to be a protective management in a quail diet, reducing the negative effects of heat stress.

Key words: Quails, Heat stress, Organic selenium and chromium, Immune response, oxidative stress
