This research was carried out to compare the productivity performance of three lines local quail. The results showed a significant superiority in daily gain weight (3.76 g/day/quail) and marketing (167.2 g/quail) for brown quail over other colors. Also, differences were found dressing ratio between males (67.8%) females (65.76%). As egg production quail, it desert colors number eggs produced, a...

The aim of this study was to determine the meat quality characteristics of young and spent quail meats. Young quail meat (age 8 week ± 3 days) and spent quail meat (age 8 month ± 3 days) were used in this experiment. Comparison of the proximate compositions, pH, colour, and fatty acid of quail meats showed significant differences (p<0.05). The young quail meat had significantly higher moisture,...

The number of wild quail has dramatically reduced in China and reached a state of endangerment with the deterioration of the environment in recent years. In this study, we examined the ecological behaviors of quails in the cage to determine the differentiation level between wild Japanese quail and domestic quail, to detect the relationship between quail behavior and evolutionary differentiation...

The BALB/c murine endogenous xenotropic leukemia virus pseudotype of m1 Moloney sarcoma virus [m1MSV(B-MuX)] was used to productively transform diploid Japanese quail embryo cells. The majority of newly hatched quail inoculated with m1MSV(B-MuX)-transformed quail embryo fibroblast cells rapidly developed tumors which were predominantly locally invasive fibrosarcomas, but metastases were observe...

Recombination of the epithelium and mesenchyme between quail anterior submaxillary gland (elongating type) and quail anterior lingual or mouse submaxillary gland (branching type) was effected in vitro to clarify whether the elongating morphogenesis was directed by the epithelial or the mesenchymal component. Quail anterior submaxillary epithelium recombined with quail anterior lingual or mouse ...

This study was aimed at determining the effects of dietary zeolite (clinoptilolite) supplementation on fattening performance, slaughter characteristics, and some blood visceral organ parameters in Japanese quails. For this purpose, 140 (4x35) four-day-old quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were randomly assigned to 4 groups with replicates (9+9+9+8), continued for a period 31 days. The f...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate Japanese quail performance under phase feeding CP regimes during growing and laying periods. A total number of 480 unsexed day-old Japanese quail chicks were equally divided into 4 groups of 3 replicates each. Four iso-caloric starter-grower basal diets (2900 Kcal ME/Kg diet) containing 24, 22, 20 and 18% CP were formulated. Four iso-caloric layer basal d...
