The sequence of Japanese quail ovalbumin cDNA

Rapid communication: sequence of a quail calpain cDNA.

Name of sequence. Quail calpain cDNA. Species. Coturnix coturnix japonica. Origin of clone. Six primers (primers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) complementary to highly conserved regions of the / m-calpain cDNA in skeletal muscle of chicken sequence were designed from chicken calpain 80-K subunit cDNA sequence (Ohno et al., 1984) and used in a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction to amplify a ...

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 ...

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...
