DETERMINAÇÃO DE PARÂMETROS HEMATOLÓGICOS EM CODORNAS (Coturnix coturnix) DE CRIAÇÃO INDUSTRIAL

Tutorial Sobre o Uso de Técnicas para Controle de Parâmetros em Algoritmos de Inteligência de Enxame e Computação Evolutiva

Nature has always been a great source of inspiration for the development of computational approaches for optimization. Two major groups representing this class of biologically inspired algorithms are Swarm Intelligence and Evolutionary Computation. Such algorithms are called metaheuristics and are recognized to be efficient approaches for solving complex problems. Both Swarm Intelligence and Ev...

Nutrient Benefits of Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica) Eggs

Cross-sectional study of quail eggs was conducted to evaluate the nutritional compositions of carbohydrate, fat, protein, calories, vitamin, minerals and sex hormones. The results showed that average of each whole quail egg weight was 10.67 g. Their contents of ash, carbohydrate, fat, protein and moisture were 1.06, 4.01, 9.89, 12.7 and 72.25 g 100g -1 , respectively. Total energy in calories o...

Mate-choice copying in Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica

We performed four experiments to examine effects on the mate choices of female Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica, of observing a male mate with another female. Each experiment was conducted in three phases: (1) a pre-test during which subject females were allowed to choose between two males with which to affiliate; (2) an observation phase, in which subject females either watched or di...
