The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of three levels of threonine (100, 95 and 90% of NRC requirements) with or without of multi strains probiotic (Primalac) on performance, carcass characteristics and blood metabolites of Japanese quails. A total of 180 one-day-old male Japanese quails were randomly allocated to six treatments with three replicates and 10 birds per each. ...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the additional effects of two ground medicinal herbs oat bran (OB) and dill seed (DS) on serum lipids, carcass characteristics and growth performance in Japanese quails. A total of 240-twenty one day of age male Japanese quails were allocated randomly to 3 treatments with 4 replicates of 20 birds per cage. Birds during the 22-49 days on trial received 3 d...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of three levels of threonine (100, 95 and 90% of nrc requirements) with or without of multi strains probiotic (primalac) on performance, carcass characteristics and blood metabolites of japanese quails. a total of 180 one-day-old male japanese quails were randomly allocated to six treatments with three replicates and 10 birds per each. ...

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of genetic and non-genetic factors on body weight and carcass traits of Japanese quails. Two strains of Japanese quail (150 wild quails and 150 white quails) were used as base population. Four mating groups were used to produce progenies: wild male × wild female, white male × wild female, wild male × white female and white male × white ...

Quails are blessed with several desirable characters like fast growth, early sexual maturity, high rate of egg production, short generation interval, requirement of less floor space, short incubation period and less susceptibility to diseases. Generally quails are reared in multi-tier cages both during growing and laying periods. The convenience in handling and conservation of space and energy ...

Interspecific hybrid incompatibility, including inviability and sterility, is important in speciation; however, its genetic basis remains largely unknown in vertebrates. Crosses between male chickens and female Japanese quails using artificial insemination can generate intergeneric hybrids; however, the hatching rate is low, and hatched hybrids are only sterile males. Hybrid development is arre...
