The studies were based on the RAPD fingerprinting for the species identification of animals. The genomic DNA samples of ostriches, Taiwan local chickens, Aboracres broilers, Leghorn chickens, quails, doves, emus, Beltville small white turkeys, pheasants, Chinese geese, mule ducks, Holstein cattle and Landrace pigs were amplified with random primers by RAPD-PCR for fingerprinting. The results sh...

About 10% of 346 Penicillium cultures isolated from mold-fermented sausage synthesized the toxic metabolite penicillic acid on liquid media. Five of these producing cultures inoculated onto sausage failed to produce this toxin in up to 70 days of ripening. Several amino acids normally occurring in meat (cysteine, glutathione, arginine, histidine, and lysine) were found capable of readily reacti...

TYR (Tyrosinase) and TYRP1 (Tyrosinase-related protein 1) play crucial roles in determining the coat color of birds. In this paper, we aimed to characterize the relationship of TYR and TYRP1 genes with plumage colors in Korean quails. The SNPs were searched by cDNA sequencing and PCR-SSCP in three plumage color Korean quails (maroon, white and black plumage). Two SNPs (367T→C and 1153C→T) were ...

The use of nanomaterials in poultry farming has become increasingly popular as feed additives capable increasing the productivity herd. Nanocrystalline cerium dioxide belongs to with a broad spectrum activity. Owing their oxygen non-stoichiometry and low toxicity, nanoparticles are very promising object for agriculture. paper presents results studying meat quails Pharaoh breed when drinking nan...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the requirement for dietary crude protein (CP) in growing blue-breasted quail (BBQ). In Experiment 1, 300 1-day-old quails were randomly assigned to 10 groups according to a 2×5 factorial arrangement of treatments with two metabolisable energy (ME) levels (12.13 and 13.39 MJ/kg) and five CP concentrations (160, 190, 220, 250 and 280 g/kg) for 8 week...

This paper makes an analysis of the ecological behaviours of 3 categories of quails, namely wild Japanese quails from the Weishan Lake Area, medium-sized domestic quails and pint-sized domestic quails. The study indicates as follows: (1) There is difference in morphological and biological habits between domestic quails and wild Japanese ones. (2) The cross-breeding between the wild and domestic...

The experimental results of betaine-aldehyde additive use in young quail diets rations have been provided. To conduct the experiment, two groups Phoenix quails at age 10 days fed with complete compound feed were formed. Poultry second group received additionally drinking water (Sumus LLC, Kazan). It has established that receiving supplement, live weight and average daily gains significantly gre...
