Quail is an alternative source of protein for humans. These birds can be affected by common bacterial infections. Bacterial contamination of egg is the most common cause of mortality in Japanese quail chicks. In order to study the role of some members of Enterobacteriaceae responsible for early mortality in Japanese quail chicks, 100 dead or moribund quail chicks were obtained from 10 different...

During investigations on the regulation of the Pax-6 gene, we characterized a cDNA from quail neuroretina showing a 5' untranslated region distinct from that previously described and initiated from an internal promoter. Using RNase protection and primer extension mapping, we localized this second quail Pax-6 promoter, termed P1. As reported for the already described P0 promoter, P1 was also tra...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of feeding method (wet and dry) on the performance of meat quail chicks. This experiment was carried out with 160 one days old quail chicks in completely randomized design, 2 treatments included 4 replicates (20 quail chicks in each replicate) and conducted for a 35 day period. Measured traits, were included performance parameters, carcass char...

The development of the ciliary ganglion with reference to the site and cells of origin have been investigated by the method of quail-to-chick transplantation of embryonic fore-, mid-and hindbrain regions, and by the method of transplantation of cranial neural crest from specific brain levels. In chimaerical embryos, quail cells originating from the graft end up in the ciliary ganglion, only whe...

Bod a K., 1. I II e k, V. S abo: Concentrations o/Mineral Substances in the Tibiotarsus o/the Japanese Quail in Weightlessness. Acta vet. Bmo 1996, 65: 33-37. The concentrations of Ca, P, Mg, and Na were studied in the tibiotarsus of 17-day-old embryos of Japanese quail, in quail 2-4 days of post-embryonic development in the MIR orbital station, and in adult birds of both sexes exposed to 7 day...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of soybean, linseed and sunflower oil (various sources of fatty acids) with and without l-carnitine supplements (0 and 50 mg kg-1) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass traits of japanese quail. one hundred and ninety-two of 7-day old female japanese quail were randomly assigned to 6 dietary treatments with 4 replicates and fed...

OPN is an RGD-containing protein overexpressed in cells transformed by v-myc and v-mil(raf) oncogenes. Here we report the resonance assignment of recombinant quail OPN and provide NMR evidence that quail OPN is an intrinsically unstructured protein in solution.

the effect of ethanolic extract of iranian green propolis, rosemary and earthworm meal to determine on performance, immune system and blood metabolites of japanese quail, using 160 mixed-sex quail chicks in a completely randomized design by four treatments (including ethanolic extract of propolis 0.1 percent, rosemary leaves meal 0.5 percent, earthworm meal 0.5 percent and control) and four rep...

background: lead is the oldest known toxic metal, physiologically and biologically harmful to living creatures. this study aimed to evaluate the lead accumulation in the liver and breast muscles of japanese quail (coturnix japonica) and to compare concentrations in both sexes and its effect on blood biochemical factors. methods: twenty-four young farm japanese quails (25 day old) prepared from ...
