Pathological studies of Marek's disease in Japanese quail.

Responses of isolator-derived Japanese quail and quail cell cultures to selected animal viruses.

Thirteen oncogenic and necrotizing animal viruses were assayed in LIFE Sciences, Inc. (LSI)-specific pathogen-free Japanese quail and LSI-specific pathogen-free chicken embryo cell cultures. Nine viruses produced similar titers in the quail and chicken cell systems, whereas four viruses showed significantly higher titers in chickens. Young Japanese quail and chickens were inoculated with five s...

Isolation and pathogenicity identification of avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (Newcastle disease) virus from a Japanese quail flock in Iran

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was isolated and identified for the first time from a flock of Japanese quail suspected to ND in Iran. Birds of the flock aged variously, and some of them died from the disease. Loss of appetite, weakness and decrease in egg production, diarrhea and nervous symptoms were the main clinical signs in the birds. Hemorrhagic lesions of the intestinal tracts and proventr...

Evaluation of the Use of Some Medicinal Plants as Diet Additive on Carcass Quality, Microbial Count and Immune Responses in Japanese Quail

Herbal plant supplements are one of the important natural growth promoters used as alternatives to commercial antibiotics. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of spice and Herbal plant products on the growth, carcass qualities, biochemical, Microbial Count and immune response factors in Japanese quail meat. A total of 360 fourteen-day-old Japanese quails female were randoml...
