By sequence analysis in ten quails with acid maltase deficiency (AMD), we have identified the mutation in qgaa1 gene, but not in qgaa2 gene. No mutations were detected in either gaa gene in ten normal quails. AMD quails had a novel G deletion at nucleotide position 1639 in exon 7 in qgaa1 gene (designated 1639delG). This deletion causes a frameshift altering the amino acid sequence from positio...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels (0, 2 and 4%) of canola oil and 2 levels of heat (1 and 2 time heated) on blood biochemical parameters of Japanese quails. This study carried out in factorial (3×2) experiment based on completely randomized design with 360 of Japanese quails in 6 treatments and 3 replicate for 35 of day. In this study, blood biochemical p...

An experiment was conducted to study the eff ect of phytase enzyme (Natuphos 500) supplementation in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) (3 to 45 days of age) on body weight, carcass performance, percentage of tibia bone ash and tibia phosphorus. Data were analyzed as a completely randomized design arranged with fi ve levels (150, 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 FTU/Kg) of phytase enzyme as treatments 1...

Toxic effects of Aflatoxin B1 on growth performance and humoral immune response against Newcastle disease Virus (NDV) vaccine were determined in Japanese quails. Quail chicks (n=300) were divided into five groups and each group was further sub-divided into two subgroups. One subgroup of each group was vaccinated with NDV vaccine to study the antibody response. Experimental diets were prepared b...

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of dietary metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein (CP) on performance and carcass characteristics of Japanese (Coturnix japonica) and Brown (Coturnix ypsilophorus) quails during a 42 d feeding trial. A total of 720 (360 per each species) one week-old quail chicks were randomly (by species) distributed between 72 cages a...

this experiment was performed in order to determine effects of different levels of dietary l-threonine supplementation in male japanese quails’ diets on immune response, small intestinal morphology, blood parameters and microflora.one hundred and forty four, 1-d old japanese quails have been selected and randomly distributed between six treatments and four replicates. basal ration was based on ...

This study was carried out to determine the effect of adding ginger powder at different levels (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) ration on performance, blood parameters and meat quality characteristics male Japanese quails. 48 quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) 28 days age were used in study. The experiment for 21 4 replications a cage with 12 quails each treatment groups consisting rations containing powd...

PURPOSE To examine the possible correlation between a dysfunction of the daily rhythm of retinal dopamine (DA) and the development of a glaucoma-like disorder in an animal model, the al mutant quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). METHODS The morphology and density of DA-containing cells labeled immunohistochemically with an anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) antibody were correlated with the diurn...
