“…This value was reported as 3.7 cm for five-week-old animals by Wilkanowska et al (2013) and as 3.93 cm for six-week-old animals by Momoh et al (2014). The results of the present study demonstrated that the shank length of five-week-old quail chicks ranged between 33.94-34.63 mm in females and between 33.44-34.10 mm in males.…”

“…mean intestine length determined in this study was similar to that reported by Wilkanowska et al (2013) for five-weekold Japanese quails (73.3 cm), this value was higher than that reported by Hassan et al (2015) for six-week-old animals (54.86 cm). Furthermore, the total length (63.44 cm) of the small (55.6 cm) and large (7.84 cm) intestines and the intestine weight (5.35 g) reported by Hena et al (2012); the total length (56.41) of the small (50.02 cm) and large (6.39 cm) intestines and the intestine weight (3.86 g) reported by Guluwa et al (2014); and the total intestine length (61.93 cm) and intestine weight (7.69 g) reported by Samadi and Sahneh (2015) were lower than the results obtained in the present study.…”

-This study was carried out to investigate the effects of eggshell colour and spot properties (colour and size of the spot area) on growth performance and carcass traits of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) eggs. Study material were allocated to five groups according to their eggshell and spot colours: black spots on greyish white coloured eggshell (I), blue spots on greyish white coloured eggshell (II), diffuse brown spots on greyish brown coloured eggshell (III), brown spots on light green colored eggshell (IV), and small brown spots on greyish brown coloured eggshell (V). The size of the spotted area was determined in each egg group using digital image analysis. The groups did not differ for body weight and length of the shank at the end of the growth period. However, the groups differed significantly for carcass yield after slaughter (not eviscerated) and carcass yield. These parameters were highest in Group I (82.08 and 76.09%) and lowest in Group III (80.20 and 73.86%). Digital image analysis demonstrated that heart length, cardiac fat area, gizzard width, and intestine length varied between the groups. Cardiac fat area was largest in Group III (0.86 cm 2 ) and smallest in Group V (0.65 cm 2 ). Gizzard width was greatest in Group I (2.63 cm) and smallest in Group V (2.47 cm). Intestine length was greatest in Group V (78.45 cm) and smallest in Group IV (72.39 cm). Body weight, shank length, and slaughter and carcass weight do not vary in relation to eggshell colour or the size of the spotted area. The lengths of intestine and heart, gizzard width, and cardiac fat area do vary in relation to eggshell colour or the size of the spotted area.

“…Carcass yield values in our study were higher than the ones recorded with the control and in various quail species, including Pharaoh quails at 35 and 42 days by Wilkanowska et al [ 34 ], meadow quails at 49 days by Vali [ 35 ],and Japanese quails between 35 and 56 days [ 35 – 37 ]. Furthermore, our values are close to those reported by Djitie et al [ 19 ] for quails in the West Cameroon highlands and Seyed-Alireza et al [ 38 ] for Japanese quails.…”

“…The testicular weight noted with the control treatment is higher than those observed by Vatsalya and Kashmiri[ 45 ], but those obtained with the T2 treatment (30%) at 56 days are higher than the latter and those obtained by Wilkanowska et al [ 34 ] on Pharaoh quails. This can be justified by the fact that the latter’s readings were taken on animals younger than ours, as testicular weights and volumes generally increase with age until puberty and reach maximum values at the sexual period [ 9 , 46 ].…”

Objective: Quail production is ranked as an important alternative animal protein source in Cameroon. One of the main constraints of this production is the quality of feed, which lacks pro¬tein that is regularly supplied by fish meal. To avoid disagreements due to the constant shortage of fish meal, alternative protein sources are needed, and among them are crickets (Acheta domes¬ticus). The goal of this study was to find out how well Japanese quails could be raised if fish meal was replaced with cricket meal. Materials and Methods: A total of 192, 4-week-old quails were divided into 12 similar sets of 8 females and 8 males. The Four experimental diets (T00, T15, T30, and T45) were all formulated based on the level (0%, 15%, 30%, and 45%, respectively) of fish meal substitution with cricket meal in the basal diet (crude protein: 20.18% and ME: 3,013.78 kcal/kg) and randomly assigned to three sets in a completely randomized design consisting of four treatments each repeated three times. Growth, carcass, and some reproduction parameters were collected. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the Duncan test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: Cricket meal diets increased body weight in males (204.32 ± 5.69 gm for T45) and regard¬less of the sex (226.72 ± 29.45 gm for T30) compared to 184.17 ± 3.11 gm and 214.55 ± 32.77 gm for the control group, respectively. In females, substitution at 30% increased body weight (253.80 ± 6.48 gm), while 45% induced a reduction (216.67 ± 6.49 gm) when compared to the control group value (244.92 ± 6.07 gm). Carcass yield and the proportion of different parts were not significantly affected by the experimental diets. Liver proportions were significantly higher at 15% and 35% cricket meal incorporation compared to 45%. First songs and egg laying were recorded at 7 weeks with T15, which also led to improved egg laying performance compared to the other treatments. Ovaries were poorly developed in the T45 females compared to the other treatments. Conclusions: Cricket flour might be a good candidate as a locally available protein source to sub¬stitute fish meal in the Japanese quail’s diet at the finisher and reproductive stages, and the level of 30% seems to be more efficient.

“…In their study on Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica), Ojo et al (2014) reported 2.96 cm and 2.95 cm leg lengths in 4-weekold females and males, respectively, and indicated that leg length increased to 3.00 cm at 6 weeks of age in both sexes. Wilkanowska et al (2013) reported equal leg length (3.7 cm) in 35-day-old and 45-dayold female and male quails, whereas Gambo et al (2014) determined and average leg length of 3.21 cm in 5-week-old quails.…”

This study was carried out to investigate selected traits of hatched and unhatched eggs and chick growth performance of yellow Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica). Eggshell temperature at the time of transfer to the hatcher was higher in hatched eggs (38.09 o C) than in unhatched eggs (37.43 o C) (p=0.000), lower in eggs with in early embryonic mortality (37.39 o C) than those with late embryonic mortality (38.13 o C) (p=0.000), and higher in eggs with female chicks (38.14 o C) than those with male chicks (37.95 o C). Lower eggshell, yolk, and albumen weights were determined in eggs with embryonic mortality of 17-18 days (0.58 g, 3.13 g and 4.96 g) compared with those with 10-16 days (0.67 g, 3.55 g and 5.58 g) and embryonic mortality of 1-9 days (0.75 g, 3.95 g and 6.19 g) (p=0.000). Lower egg weight loss was obtained in eggs with embryonic mortality (13.85%) of 1-9 days than those with embryonic mortality of 17-18 days (26.48%) (p=0.001). Females were heavier at chick weight (8.98 g vs. 8.63 g; p=0.033) and at 4 (231.81 g vs. 211.43 g; p<0.000) and 5(260.69 g vs. 231.87 g; p<0.000) weeks of age than males, and had longer left shanks (34.39 mm vs. 33.61 mm; p=0.004).
