AIM The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance of gray, brown, and white varieties of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) with respect to body weight, egg production, and egg quality traits in the coastal climatic condition of Odisha. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 500-day-old straight run Japanese quail chicks of three varieties, viz., gray, brown, and white were r...

This study was carried out to analyze the impact of lines, egg shell colour and intraction between (Line ⁎ eggshell colours) on quality characteristics hatching parameters assess correlation these traits in three local quail eggs (desert, brown white). A total 409 were collected from female quails during 16 weeks divided into five groups basis spot for each line. The results revealed that there...

The present study was conducted to determine egg production traits and egg quality characteristics in black and brown lines of Japanese quail. A total of 500 quails comprising 400 females and 100 males obtained from two breeding centers were raised according to the standard procedure for Japanese quail. They were grouped in according to their plumage colours. Age at first egg-laying has been re...

To assess the extraction methods of egg yolk oil in ShiZhenKang (SZK) oil, which is used to treat eczema, a mice model of eczema was established by using 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The therapeutic effects of egg yolk oil extracted by different methods from SZK oil on the model of acute eczema in mice were evaluated. The oil yield rate of ethanol extraction is 42.06%. Its egg yolk oil is o...

continual heat stress affects approximately 7 million hectares of wheat in developing countries, while terminal heat stress is a problem in 40% of temperate environments, which cover 36 million hectares throughout the world. heat tolerance is a quantitative and complex trait that doesn’t have much success in direct selection. for this purpose, however, a thorough understanding of physiological ...

To determine migration-related differences in serum lipid levels and to estimate the contribution of environmental factors to these differences, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study among 1,222 residents of southwestern China in 1988 and 1989: 521 Yi farmers living in a remote rural area, 340 Yi migrants to an urban setting, and 361 Han people living in the same urban setting. Serum to...

In this experiment, a total of 128 Hy-line W36 hens at 63 weeks of age were used. The hens were put at random into 4 treatment groups (4 replicates and 32 hens per treatment) and were fed four different diets: three diets with different levels of Spirulina (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) and one control group based on wheat and soybean meal. All birds were housed in commercial cages, had ad libitum access ...

Selection for drought tolerance typically involves evaluating genotypes for either high yield potential or stable performance under drought stress. In order to select drought tolerant land races of bread wheat an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under two different rainfed and irrigated conditions during the growing season 2010-2011. ...
