This study examined the comparative utilization of 30% inclusion levels of three vegetable protein sources [Groundnut Cake (GNC); Soybean Meal (SBM) and Cotton Seed Cake (CSC)] in the diets of growing and laying Japanese quails. The findings showed no significant variations (P>0.05) on feed intake, weight gain and feed/gain ratio during the growing period among the vegetable protein sources fed...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of vitamin E and selenium (Se) supplementation on the performance, egg quality and hatchability of eggs from Japanese breeding quails. The experiment was conducted over a 60 day period using 135 quails in a completely randomized design (CRD) with two levels of vitamin E and two levels of selenium (80 mg/kg of vitamin E+0.2 mg/kg organi...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of soybean, linseed and sunflower oil (various sources of fatty acids) with and without L-carnitine supplements (0 and 50 mg kg-1) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits of Japanese quail. One hundred and ninety-two of 7-day old female Japanese quail were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments with 4 replicates and fed...

brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. the aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the japanese quail. the different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. luminal diameter, th...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of inclusion sodium bentonite (SB) in Japanese quails’ diet on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical status, and meat quality traits. A total 120 seven-day-old quails ( Coturnix coturnix Japonica ) were randomly divided into four groups, with each group containing five replicates, six birds each. SB mixed at concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 2...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that cause the stomach infection in more than 50% of human population worldwide. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of anti-H. pylori immunoglobulins Y (IgYs) production in quails and evaluate the effect of the different methods of immunization on titers of IgY in egg yolks. Whole cell bacterial anti...
