Adaptability of Japanese Quail Chicks to Conditions of Simulated Weightlessness

Adaptability of Japanese quail chicks to conditions of simulated weightlessness.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the adaptability of young Japanese quail chicks to the simulated weightlessness, represented by hypodynamy. Unsexed hatchlings were subjected to hypodynamy on either the first, second or third day of age and reared under these conditions to 21 days of age. During this period, the control quail chicks were housed in a floor box. The effect of hypodynam...

Concentration of Mineral Substances in the Tibiotarsus of the Japanese Quail in Weightlessness

Bod a K., 1. I II e k, V. S abo: Concentrations o/Mineral Substances in the Tibiotarsus o/the Japanese Quail in Weightlessness. Acta vet. Bmo 1996, 65: 33-37. The concentrations of Ca, P, Mg, and Na were studied in the tibiotarsus of 17-day-old embryos of Japanese quail, in quail 2-4 days of post-embryonic development in the MIR orbital station, and in adult birds of both sexes exposed to 7 day...

Histomorphometric study of brachiocephalic artery of Japanese quail

Brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. The aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the Japanese quail. The different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old Japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. Luminal diameter, th...

The Use of Sesame Meal in Diets of Japanese Quail

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of sesame meal (SM) on performance and carcass characteristics of Japanese quail. One hundred sixty day-old Japanese quail chick were equally distributed into 16 cage pens and reared form 10 to 42 days of age. The treatments consisted of SM0, SM50, SM100 and SM150. The diet for SM0 treatment had no SM (control), while those ...
