The present research was conducted to estimate the dietary lysine (Lys) requirement of growing female quail base on performance and carcass constitutes at 24 to 42 d of age. A dose-response diet mainly based on corn, corn gluten and soybean meal was used. Lys content was minimized in dose-response diet (10 g/kg) while assuring the minimum levels of all other essential amino acids in a manner th...

Information presented concurrently and redundantly to 2 or more senses (intersensory redunddncy) has been shown to recruit attention and promote perceptual learning of amodal stimulus properties in animal embryos and human infants. This study examined whether the facilitative effect of intersensory redundancy also extends to the domain of memory. We assessed bobwhite quail chicks’ ability to re...

Škrobánek P., M. Baranovská, B. Šárniková, M. Juráni: Effect of Simulated Microgravity on Sexual Development of Female Japanese Quail. Acta Vet Brno 2008, 77: 3-10. Hypodynamia is a method to simulate weightlessness (microgravity) in the laboratory conditions. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of chronic hypodynamia on the growth and development of the ovary and ovidu...

The inability of animals to cope with their social environment in husbandry systems could be a major source of problems for both animal welfare management and economy. In this context, previous studies selected lines of domestic Japanese quail diverging for their level of social reinstatement, hypothesizing that quail with high levels of social motivation would adapt better to crowded social si...

this study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant property of chavir plant on japanese quail intoxicated with carbon tetrachloride (ccl4). eighty, one-d-old japanese quail chicks were randomly allotted to 4 treatments with 4 replicates and 5 chicks in each, using completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangements including 2 levels of chavir powder (0 and 1.5 percent) and ccl4 (0 and 1 ml/...

A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of varying dietary levels protein on performance Japanese quail chicks. Six iso-caloric (2953-3078 kcal/kg, ME) diets were formulated contain crude (CP) at 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28% levels, respectively. Each treatment replicated three times with sixty (60) chicks per replicate. total 1080 day-old unsexed used for study distributed using co...

Green tea leaves contain a wide range of active bio-compounds that are essential for sustainable quail intensification; however, its feed value is not known the Jumbo quail. Therefore, this study evaluated effect different levels green leaf powder (GTLP) on physiological and meat quality parameters One-week-old chicks (n = 350; 56.1 ± 2.12 g live-weight) were evenly distributed to 35 replicate ...

A study was undertaken to evaluate the reproductive performance in two plumage colour variant strains of quail, viz; Brown, White Breasted and a dark Cinnamon Brown (commercial) strain. A total of 694 straight run active chicks were obtained in three hatches at weekly intervals from the three strains. Sex was determined at six weeks of age and female progenies were separated and data on reprodu...

The study was carried out to determine the effects of the parental age and egg weight of Japanese quail on the weight of one day old chick, fertility and hatchability of incubated eggs. Three hundred and sixty Japanese quail eggs were obtained from 22 and 36 weeks old quails. The eggs were weighed and grouped into 2 categories: Light (7.5-9.5g) and Heavy (9.6 – 12g). The weight of the chicks we...
