Compensatory Growth in Japanese Quail Following Protein Restriction

Compensatory mammary growth following protein restriction during pregnancy and lactation increases early-onset mammary tumor incidence in rats.

Breast cancer incidence is increased in women with both high and low birth weight. The latter is also associated with hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance and type-2 diabetes, each of which independently increases breast cancer risk. We showed previously in our model of poor early-growth that pregnancy estradiol levels were raised while offspring developed type-2 diabetes. We hypothesized that nu...

Effect of probiotic (Bacilact) on growth performance, feed restriction and compensatory growth after re-feeding in rainbow trout

This study was carried with aim to investigate the restriction of feed, compensatory growth and the effect of probiotic (Bacilact) on growth performance, food productivity, survival and carcass composition of rainbow trout. Experiment was performed using a completely randomized design with three treatments consist of without hungry and basilicate treatment, feed restriction treatments with and ...

Effect of feed restriction on compensatory growth response of young male goats

Forty eight 8-month-old male goats were divided into three groups. In each group, eight goats were feedrestricted for 45, 60 or 75 days, and eight goats served as the control. Restricted groups were fed with a maintenance ration, and the control goats were fed with a ration supporting 50 g of daily weight gain. At the end of restriction period, the restricted goats were offered the same ration ...

The Japanese Quail

Inbreeding depression in Japanese quail.

usefulness of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) as an expenT z n t a l animal was first pointed out about eight years ago (WILSON, ABBOTT and ABPLANALP 1959, 1961; PADGETT and IVEY 1959). These birds have steadily gained in popularity since then, but few quantitative genetic studies have been reported to date. The present investigation was designed to assess the response of Japanese q...
