Blood Pressure of Japanese and Bobwhite Quail

Amino acid sequence of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) and northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) myoglobin.

Myoglobin has an important physiological role in vertebrates, and as the primary sarcoplasmic pigment in meat, influences quality perception and consumer acceptability. In this study, the amino acid sequences of Japanese quail and northern bobwhite myoglobin were deduced by cDNA cloning of the coding sequence from mRNA. Japanese quail myoglobin was isolated from quail cardiac muscles, purified ...

Impacts of predation on northern bobwhite and scaled quail

Calcium and phosphorus requirements of breeding bobwhite quail.

egg production is lowered, with the eggshells becoming pro gressively thinner. The serum calcium of the hen falls and there is a depletion of the calcium and phosphorus contents of the bones. Nevertheless, according to Branion, the percentage composition of the shell remains constant, showing that, as in bone formation, if the mineral is deposited, it is laid down in the normal proportion. Deob...

Antibiotic treatment of ulcerative enteritis of bobwhite quail.

Penicillin-streptomycin, bacitracin methylene disalicylate, zinc bacitracinm, soluble bacitracin methylene disalicylate, streptomycin (25%) and spectinomycin were used as prophylactic and therapeutic treatments for ulcerative enteritis in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). Penicillin-streptomycin was the most effective prophylactic and streptomycin (25%) was the most effective therapeutic ag...

Recognition Characteristics in Covey Dialects of Bobwhite Quail

-Fifty Bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) were randomly divided into two equal-size coveys at six weeks of age. At 12 weeks the separation (“hoypoo”) call was recorded from birds in both coveys. Duration and frequency characters were measured and subjected to discriminant analysis. This analysis indicated that each covey could be segregated mainly on the difference in duration between the “ho...
