Abstract:

Subulura brumpti infection was observed in Japanese quails and caused heavy production loss up to 10%. Gross lesions were confined to caecum of the affected birds. Pathological changes suggestive of acute cecal hemorrhagic enteritis were recorded. Closer observation of the cecal loop revealed wavy movement with thousands of tiny worms. Based on morphometry, the worms were identified as S. brumpti. Condition was responded to the albendazole treatment efficiently and all the birds were recovered and production of the flock has been improved.

Spatial Orientation in Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

Finding a given location can be based on a variety of strategies, for example on the estimation of spatial relations between landmarks, called spatial orientation. In galliform birds, spatial orientation has been demonstrated convincingly in very young domestic chicks. We wanted to know whether adult Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) without food deprivation are also able to use spat...

Using Processed Feeds For Laying Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

The aim of this experiment was to determine the productive performance and egg quality of Japanese quails fed different types of processed rations (mash, extruded, or pelleted). One hundred and fortyfour 18-w-old quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were housed in galvanized wire cages and fed a 21.50% CP and 2850 kcal ME/kg basal feed supplied in mash, extruded, or pelleted form. Experimental d...

Vitamin A uptake cells in the endocrine organs of Japanese quails, Coturnix coturnix japonica.

The vitamin A uptake cells in the anterior pituitary, thyroid gland, and pancreas of Japanese quails, coturnix coturnix japonica, were examined by the use of Sudan III staining, toluidine blue staining, fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy. After excess vitamin A administration, most of interstitial cells, corresponding to fibroblasts, increased markedly the size and number of lipid ...

Prepubertal and Pubertal Caecal Wall Histology in Japanese Quails (coturnix Coturnix Japonica)

The present study is aimed to investigate changes in caecal wall histology of quails, during prepubertal and pubertal periods. To this end, forty quails at the ages of 10, 20, 30 (prepuberty) and 40 (puberty) days were slaughtered (10 birds in each sampling time) and histological sections from proximal, middle and distal parts of caeca were prepared and stained with H&E. It was observed that in...
