to evaluatethe effects of supplementing diets of growing japanese quails (n=450; 7 days old) with chromium (cr) yeast and / or mannan oligosaccharides (mos) on productive performance, carcass traits and the immune system are reported. diets were a basal diet (control) or the basal diet supplemented with 600 mg cr-yeast/kg (cr 1), 1200 mg cr-yeast/kg (cr 2), 1.0 g mos/kg, cr 1 + mos or cr 2 + mo...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated inclusion of buckwheat silage to the diet of growing lambs in terms of meat quality as compared to maize silage. METHODS Buckwheat, rich in total phenols (TP, 33 g/kg dry matter [DM]), was harvested at the end of the milk stage and ensiled in 40 kg plastic bags after wilting (294 g/kg silage DM). A total of 18 growing lambs (21.6±1.2) were individually fed isoni...

The common quail (Coturnix coturnix) is a popular game species for which restocking with farm-reared individuals is a common practice. In some areas, the number of released quails greatly surpasses the number of wild breeding common quail. However, common quail are difficult to raise in captivity and this casts suspicion about a possible hybrid origin of the farmed individuals from crosses with...

Aim of study: Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is a nutritive, antioxidant-rich by-product, and it has been tested as feed ingredient for livestock. However, studies on quails are scarce. The current study investigated that the effect PSO performance meat instrumental quality quails.
 Area Türkiye.
 Material methods: A total 60 seventy-day-old male were equally subjected to 3 dietary treatm...

The influence of ascorbic acid administration via drinking water at a dose of 15 mg/l over a period of 7 days on the pharmacokinetics of oleandomycin in chickens, musk ducks and Japanese quails was investigated. After ascorbic acid oleandomycin elimination, half-life was longer. Oleandomycin bioavailability in chickens and quails after per os application was increased with ascorbic acid. Inters...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels (0, 2 and 4%) of canola oil and 2 levels of heat (1 and 2 time heated) on blood biochemical parameters of Japanese quails. This study carried out in factorial (3×2) experiment based on completely randomized design with 360 of Japanese quails in 6 treatments and 3 replicate for 35 of day. In this study, blood biochemical p...

By sequence analysis in ten quails with acid maltase deficiency (AMD), we have identified the mutation in qgaa1 gene, but not in qgaa2 gene. No mutations were detected in either gaa gene in ten normal quails. AMD quails had a novel G deletion at nucleotide position 1639 in exon 7 in qgaa1 gene (designated 1639delG). This deletion causes a frameshift altering the amino acid sequence from positio...

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) on performance and carcass characteristics of Japanese (Coturnix japonica) and Brown (Coturnix ypsilophorus) quails during a 42 d feeding trial. A total of 720 (360 per each species) one week-old quail chicks were randomly (by species) distributed between 72 cages a...
