We have shown previously that after a focal female Japanese quail, Coturnix japonica, sees a conspecific male mating, the focal female's tendency to affiliate and to mate with that male is significantly increased. Here we describe two experiments demonstrating that a focal female quail that has seen a conspecific male mating subsequently shows an enhanced tendency to affiliate not only with tha...

As climate change is expected to worsen in the future, raising livestock animals used meat production with maximum efficiency warm conditions may become a necessity meet food needs. To this end, experiment was carried out determine quality properties of breast from different colored Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) grown under conditions. A total 100 were used, 25 each black, white,...

Plasma Enzyme Activities in Coturnix Quail Fed Graded Doses of DDE, Polychlorinated Biphenyl, Malathion and Mercuric Chloride. DIETER, M. P. (1974). Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 27, 86-98. Male Coturnix quail (Coturnix coturnixjaponica) were fed diets for 12 weeks containing graded levels of DDE, polychlorinated biphenyl (Aroclor 1254), malathion, and mercuric chloride. Birds were bled prior to ex...

One hundred twenty-three of 300 blood samples (41%) taken from Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) from three locations in southern Texas (Welder Wildlife Refuge, Chaparrosa Ranch, and Campo Alegre Ranch) and subinoculated into domestic broad-breasted white turkey poults were positive for a Plasmodium (Novyella) sp. Analysis of blood films from 350 turkeys revealed Haemopro...

This study was carried on four groups of Wistar male rats (20 of each), to evaluate the protective effect of vitamin E and selenium on the structure and biochemical alterations of the liver, heart and aorta. Group I is control, Group II fed high fat and vitamin E and selenium deficient diet as control positive group. Group III (protective) given 100 mg and 0.1 mg/kg b.w/day for 6months, vitamin...

The widely used atrazine has been reported to exhibit extensive ecological hazards. Due to the biological accumulation, atrazine elicits widespread toxic effects on different organisms. However, true proof for the mechanism of atrazine-induced toxicity is lacking. To determine the potential mechanism by which atrazine exerted toxic effects, quails were treated with atrazine (0, 50, 250 and 500 ...
