“…The results recorded highly significant superiority (P<0.01) of Black plumage variety compared with other varieties in body weight during the period from one week to five weeks, while there was no significant difference between Black and Brown varieties in body weight at one day age, 6 and 7 weeks of age (Table 1), this result disagree with Islam et al [7].…”

“…Minvielle et al [6] studied the effect of Roux plumage color on growth, carcass traits and egg production compared with wild-type plumage, the results referred that Roux color associated with significantly lower in the body weight, less abdominal fat and lower in egg weight. Islam et al [7] found that there was significant superiority of White plumage in live body weight compared with Black variety.…”

Two experiments were conducted at the poultry farm of Department of Animal Production-College of Agriculture-University of Diyala / Iraq, the first experiment performed in Autumn season using 324 birds and the second experiment performed in Spring season using 397 birds reared for ten weeks, the study aimed to detect the productive performance of three varieties of Japanese quail(White, Black and Brown plumage color) in the natural conditions of Iraq during Spring and Autumn seasons and the effect of genotype × environment interaction (G × E) on meat and egg production. The statistical analysis done according to factorial experiment in Completely Randomized Design (3 × 2) with three replicates. The results showed, significant superiority of the Black variety in the body weight measurements during the first 5 weeks of age, while there were no significant differences found in body weight between Black and Brown varieties during 6 and 7 weeks of age. There were significant differences due to G×E in body weight measurements of all weeks of rearing. The results showed significant superiority of the Black variety compared with White variety in feed consumption and weight gain traits, and also there were a significant superiority of measurements during Spring season rearing compared with Autumn season rearing in respect of weight gain and feed conversion traits, also there were significant G×E effect in feed conversion. There was a significant superiority of measurements during Autumn season rears in the age of sexual maturity of females, hen day egg production (%), and the number of eggs per hen.

“…The overall mean for BWSM was 244.44 g (ranged from 238.12-353.55 g). These values were nearly equal with finding by Soliman (2009), however, it was higher than the range from 144.8-228.8 g. found by Meky (2007), Okenyi et al (2013), Bothaina et al (2014), Bulbul et al (2014), Ipek and Dikmen (2014), Momoh et al (2014) and Islam et al (2015).…”

“…The overall mean for ASM showed in this study was 51.16 days (ranged from 49.47-56.89 days), this finding is in agreement with the findings reported by Shalan (2002), Abdel-Tawab (2006) and Meky (2007). However, it were found to be disagree and/or higher with those obtained by Aboul-Seoud (2008), Badawy (2008), Soliman (2009), Magda et al (2010, Sakunthaladevi et al (2011), Momoh et al (2014), Okuda et al (2014) and Islam et al (2015). In general, the respect ASM trait as correlated response increased in the selected line from 49.47 days in the base generation to 52.63 days in the second generation after selection for EW 10 (Table 3) with rate of 1.05 days per generation.…”

The present study aimed to measure the direct response of selection for high egg weight of the first 10 eggs laid at the beginning of egg production period in Japanese quail through three generations of selection. The egg weight of the first 10 eggs (EW 10 ) as direct response increased in the selected line when compared with control line from 10.43 g in the base generation to 12.52 g in the second generation after selection with rate of 0.69 g per generation. The Age at Sexual Maturity (ASM) trait increased in the selected line from 49.47 days in the base generation to 52.63 days in the second generation after selection for EW 10 with rate of 1.05 days per generation. The Body Weight at Sexual Maturity (BWSM) trait increased, after selection in the selected line from 240.09 g in the base generation to 251.45 and 243.67 g in the first and second generation, respectively. Egg number during the first 45 days of production was significantly higher in selected line than the control line throughout the 3 generations of selection. The overall mean of egg weight through the first 45 days of laying period were11.27, 12.01 and 12.29 g for the base, 1st and 2nd generation while it was 11.51 and 12.13 g for control and selected lines, respectively, with a significant difference among generations and between line. Average feed consumption was 31.50 and 29.03 g/female/day for the control and selected line, respectively. The females in selected line had better Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) than the control females. Selection for EW 10 in Japanese quail improved egg number, egg weight and FCR during the first 45 days of laying.

“…The body weight of white quails were the highest when compared with the others which were comparable with Ojo et al (2014) who found that the body weight of white plumage color quails surpassed the brown quails at 2 and 4 weeks of age. Moreover, Islam et al (2014) reported that white quail was heavier at 5th week of age than black, brown and golden quails (2.82, 9.98 and 19.90%, respectively). Also, the albino quail (white) was heavier than the normal color (Tarhyel et al 2012).…”

Poultry production is considered one of the prospective opportunities to accomplish sustainable and quick production of superior protein to challenge the growing mandate for animal protein. Therefore, this study was aimed to explore the difference on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality and amino acid profile of different Japanese quails strains. A total of 480 quail chicks of four different plumage colors (120 of each white, golden, gray and brown) were collected after hatching. At 6 week of age, birds were stunned and decapitated to determine the physical meat quality, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and amino acid profile. White quails had the highest weight of slaughter, carcass, dressing, carcass yield, liver, gizzard, heart and spleen (197.27 g, 169.27 g, 91%, 82%, 6.63 g, 6.53 g, 2.27 g and 0.40 g, respectively). Also, they had the highest Ph, lightness, yellowness and water holding capacity with the lowest level of redness, cooking losses and thiobarbituric acid in pectoral (6.28, 46.40, 12,46, 22.17, 9.20, 19.21 and 0.44, respectively) and thigh muscles (6.37, 42.30, 11.51, 26.01, 10.12 and 0.93, respectively). Moreover, they possessed the highest level of all essential (11.68 and 10.16 g/100 g protein in pectoral and thigh muscles, respectively) and non essential amino acids (13.27 and 12.54 g/100 g protein in pectoral and thigh muscles, respectively). Therefore, the current study revealed that white quails had the heaviest body weight with the best carcass traits and meat quality.
