In this study, the effects of different levels of thyme oil supplementation in the diets of Japanese quails on egg quality parameters were evaluated. A total of 90 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) (aged 16 weeks), were randomly assigned to one of three experimental groups: a control group, a low thyme group (receiving 150 mg/kg), and a high thyme group (receiving 300 mg/kg). The internal and external quality characteristics of the eggs were analyzed. The ANOVA results demonstrated significant intergroup differences in eggshell ratio, shape index, and yellow color. Discriminant analysis was employed to ascertain the extent of separation between the groups in terms of egg quality parameters, revealing that some parameters exhibited significant intergroup differences. The findings suggest that thyme oil can positively influence egg quality at specific dosages; however, high dosages may have adverse effects.
