S*S (Silver), S*N (wild type/gold), and S*AL (sex-linked imperfect albinism) form a series of alleles at the S (Silver) locus on chicken (Gallus gallus) chromosome Z. Similarly, sex-linked imperfect albinism (AL*A) is the bottom recessive allele at the orthologous AL locus in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The solute carrier family 45, member 2, protein (SLC45A2), previously denoted membra...

Dimitrov, D. S., 2014. the lachrymal gland in manchurian and Pharaoh Japanese quails – A histometrical investigation. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 1498-1501 the study was carried out on 40 sexually mature and clinically healthy Japanese quails (20 females and 20 males) from the stock hybrids manchurian Golden and Pharaoh. After weighing and determination of metric parameters, 80 lachrymal glands w...

The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is a valuable bird as both an experimental animal, for a wide range of scientific disciplines, and an agricultural animal, for the production of eggs and meat. Cryopreservation of PGCs would be a feasible strategy for the conservation of both male and female fertility cells in Japanese quail. However, the effects of freeze-thaw treatment on viability, migr...

Standard avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV), BAI strain A, causes myeloblastosis, osteopetrosis, lymphoid leukosis, and nephroblastoma in chickens. In this investigation, several leu kosis viruses of subgroups A and B were isolated (rom standard AMV and characterized. A subgroup A virus derived from an AMV-induced lymphoma of a Japanese quail was isolated, and it induced a high incidence of osteo...

Dietary fat contributes significantly to the energy requirements of poultry. Not all species are able to increase their absorptive capacity for fats in response to a high fat diet. The effects of a high fat diet (10% canola oil) on the lipid absorption and deposition in the liver, breast and thigh muscles of male and female Japanese quail were investigated. Thirty-eight Japanese quail (Coturnix...

SHIPMAN, CHARLES, JR. (Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis), AND ALVIN S. LEVINE. Selective response of the Japanese quail to various strains of Rous sarcoma virus. J. Bacteriol. 92:161-163. 1966.-The Bryan "high-titer," CarrZilber, Harris, Prague, Schmidt-Ruppin, and "29" strains of Rous sarcoma virus were used to initiate tumors in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonic...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect using a mixture ground celery seeds with cinnamon powder as natural additives on performance, carcass parameters and some blood constituents in Japanese quail. One hundred eighty, one day old Quail were randomly assigned (3×2) factorial design arrangement. Three crushed levels (0, 3 6 g/kg diet) two (0 , 4 used six treatments.The obtained results...

Abstract This 10-week study aims to examine the performance and egg quality of Japanese quail given a fermented dragon fruit peel (Hylocereus sp) extract in their drinking water. The research methodology employed was completely randomized design (CRD) consisting 5 treatments, each treatment with 4 replications replication comprised 10 quails, total 200 quails 6-weeks-old. R0 = water without ext...

in the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (ame), ame corrected for nitrogen (amen), true metabolizable energy (tme), tme corrected for nitrogen (tmen) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult leghorn cockerels. the second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...

The potential of the yeast component, mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) to ameliorate the effects of aflatoxicosis was examined in growing Japanese quail. The product was incorporated in the diet at 1 g/kg and was evaluated for its ability to reduce the deleterious effects of 2 mg total aflatoxin (AF; 82.30% AFB1, 2.06% AFB2, 7.68% AFG1 and 7.96% AFG2)/kg diet on Japanese quail chicks from 10 to 45 d...
