Productive and Physiological Responses of Japanese Quail Embryos to Light Regime during Incubation Period
نویسنده
چکیده
Various factors play important roles in influencing hatchability efficiency and growth performance during embryonic and post-hatch life, such as genetic, egg characteristics and incubation environment (Christensen, 1995; Nestor and Noble, 1995; Narushin and Romanov, 2002; Petek et al., 2003; Abiola et al., 2008). Light is one of the environmental factors that improves embryonic growth and hatchability performance of avian eggs (Fairchild and Christensen, 2000; Shafey and AlMohsen, 2002). Cooper (1972) stated that poults hatched from eggs exposed to fluorescent lights appeared to be more active than poults incubated and hatched in dark.

Physiological, Biochemical and Metabolic Responses of Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) as Affected by Early Heat Stress and Dietary Treatment
The main objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of short- term exposure of Japanese quail eggs to acute high incubation temperature on embryonic development and on the ability of post- hatched chicks to cope with subsequent heat stress conditions during the growing period. A total of 998 Japanese quail eggs were divided into two groups, the first group (470 eggs) was maintained at ...

Objective: In recent years, antibiotics have been used widely in the glob to prevent and treat bacterial diseases. They injected into eggs to eliminate pathogens and prevention of egg transmission of disease, but the adverse effects of drugs have always been a major concern. There is little information available about the safety of tetracycline drugs in the embryonated eggs of the birds. The ob...

Present preliminary scientific trial was designed to investigate of microwave effects on Japanese quails as an animal model. Thirty six three days-old quail chicks were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups and received: A) un-treated tap water, B) tap water boiled by electrical heater and then cooled and C) tap water treated by microwave oven and then cooled. The whole experimental perio...

The effect of different housing conditions on body weight, weight gain, feed intake, water consumption, egg production, rectal temperature, hematocrit value and mortality rate were studied in Japanese quail. Three experimental groups: winter conditions (control), long day-light (lighted) and hot climate (heated) were used. A total of 195 quail chicks (65/group, 40 females and 25 males) were use...
