“…Sexual dimorphism has previously been reported in favour of the male in duck [23], pigeon [24], and pheasants [25,26]. The growth pattern of male and female Japanese quails raised in other environments have been well documented [20,[27][28][29]. The growth pattern observed in the present study agrees with the pattern reported in refs.…”

Relationship between Body Weight and Linear Body Measurements in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)

et al. 2013

A total of 108 two-weeks-old Japanese quail chicks were used to study the relationship between body weight and linear measurements and to predict body weight from linear measurements of body length (BL), body girth (BG), wing length (WL), shank length (SL), shank diameter (SD) and drum stick (DS).The results showed that the mean quail birds' body weights were 35.23g and 143.78g, at 2 nd and 8 th weeks, respectively. Body weight gain was increased between 2 and 6 weeks of age and thereafter decreased with advancing age. Female birds were significantly (P< 0.05) heavier than those of male counterpart at 6 th and 8 th weeks of age. Significantly positive correlations (P<0.01) were obtained between body weight and body measurements at 2 nd , 4 th and 8 th weeks. The best correlation was obtained between body weight and body girth at the 2 nd week of age (0.70). The estimates of coefficient of determination and predictive equations show that body weight in Japanese quail is linearly related to body measurements especially with body girth and body length. The study shows that it is possible for breeders to use BG and BL as criteria for assessment and early selection of Japanese quail for body weight.

“…Humans generally consume table eggs, but in small quantities, they consume fertile eggs from other poultry species. In recent years consumer interest has increased for quail, pheasant and partridge eggs (Balcioğlu et al, 2009;Garip et al, 2010;Karabag et al, 2010;Burden, 2013;Kokoszyński, 2017). The structure of the egg is similar in various poultry species, but there are differences in the proportions of these parts (Nys and Guyot, 2011).…”

This experiment was conducted to compare the cholesterol concentrations of yolk and some internal and external quality chicken, quail, partridge and pheasant eggs. Chickens, quails and partridges are housed in cages and pheasants are housed floor pens. Egg quality traits were determined for 20 eggs per poultry species. Egg weight, egg shape index, eggshell strength, albumen ratio, yolk ratio, yolk index, albumen pH, yolk pH, shell ratio, albumen and yolk color characteristics were examined as egg quality analyzes. Ten eggs from each species were used to determine total cholesterol and triglyceride levels of yolks. The highest egg shape index and eggshell strength values were obtained in the pheasant and chicken eggs. The lowest yolk ratio value was obtained in hen eggs. The shell ratio and yolk index of partridge eggs were higher than the other species. Chicken egg had a lower proportion of cholesterol compared with other species. Partridge eggs have a lighter yolk color than other species. There was no statistically significant difference between the other species in terms of egg yolk cholesterol content, while the lowest egg yolk cholesterol value was detected in chicken eggs.
