This study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementation ground fennel quail rations on egg production, slaughter, intestinal parasites, and semen quality. For this purpose, 48 female 24 male quails were used in study. The experimental groups consisted control group with basal feed + 0% fennel, GF1, GF2, GF4 fennel-supplemented by 1%, 2%, 4% respectively, also each designed pairs....

Most laboratory studies of mate choice use affiliation as a surrogate measure for actual choice of a partner for copulation. In a series of recent studies using affiliation as a dependent variable, we showed that the tendency of both male and female Japanese quail to affiliate with members of the opposite sex is profoundly affected by seeing them mate with others: female quails show an increase...

Quail has been proposed to be an intermediate host of influenza A viruses. However, information on the susceptibility and pathogenicity of pandemic H1N1 2009 (pH1N1) and swine influenza viruses in quails is limited. In this study, the pathogenicity, virus shedding, and transmission characteristics of pH1N1, swine H1N1 (swH1N1), and avian H3N2 (dkH3N2) influenza viruses in quails was examined. T...

in order to perform a histomorphometric study of blood cells in male adult ostrich, blood samples were obtained from jugular vein of 10 clinically healthy male adult ostriches (2 - 3 years old). the slides were stained with the giemsa methods and the smears were evaluated for cellular morphology, with cellular size being determined by micrometry. the findings of this study revealed that the sha...

AIM Genotype VII Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is the most predominant NDV strains that circulating in Malaysia; thus, this study was aimed to determine the susceptibility of Japanese quails toward genotype VII NDV. Clinical signs, gross pathological lesions of organs, positive detection of virus in organs and cloacal swabs, as well as the expression of the antibody titer, were used as paramete...

Background: The growth of birds is a function both genetics and environment involving change leading into improvement in weight, shape, size, volume, etc. Study important non-genetic factors view formulating future selection breeding strategies different poultry species. Methods: present study was done on 1246 numbers Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) two strains i.e., black white di...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of metabolizable energy (ME) and protein of Japanese quails diets on offspring performance and antibody production against sheep red blood cell (SRBC). A total of 432 Japanese quails (13 week-old) were divided into nine treatments. Each treatment comprised four replicates of twelve birds (9 female and 3 male). Nine diets including three levels of ...
