Abstract

The removal of lead as heavy metal from polluted water by alginate beads of
both immobilized live and heat killed fungal mycelia of Pleurerus sajur—caju and Ca
alginate beads were investigated to determine the effect of treated and untreated
water on laying Japanese quails performance . A hundred of 13 weeks old laying
Japanese quails were divided into five groups. each group contained 20 birds divided
into two replicates (10 hens for each ) . Group 1 (Tl) was allowed to drink water
treated by immobilized live fungal mycelia . group 2 (T2) allowed to drink water treated
by immobilized heat killed fungal mycelia . group 3 (T3) allowed to drink water treated
by calcium alginate . group4 (T4) allowed to drink water contaminated by 0.3025 mg/L
lead acetate and groups (T5) allowed to drink tap water (control) . The treatments
were continued for 4 weeks after which all groups allowed to drink tap water for
another 4 weeks. Lead acetate at concentration 0.3025 mg/L was added to water and
the polluted water was treated by alginate beads of both immobilized live and heat
killed fungal mycelia of Pfeurotus sajur—caju and calcium alginate beads. The
concentration of lead in water after treatments decreased to 0.0082. 0.0014 and 0.008
mg/L when the water treated by alginate beads of both immobilized live and heat
killed fungal mycelia of Pieurotus sajur-caju and Ca alginate beads respectively.. The
results indicated that water contaminated by lead acetate increased lead
concentration in liver at T4 compared with other treatments .The treatments had
insignificant effects on eggs quality parameter. plasma total protein. albumin (A).
globulin (G) and NG ratio while the treatments had significant effect on GPT and
GOT. total cholesterol and creatinine , also the weight of spleen decreased
insignificantly due to T4 treatment.
