“…Silva et al (2019) reported that, in European quail fed up to 50% maize meal, feed conversion and feed intake negatively influenced egg production, with a rate of 0.3%, respectively. Sultana et al (2007) reported a laying percentage 60% in Japanese quail fed with a 60% maize diet. The Posture percentage for commercial laying birds did not change with the introduction of maize germ meal into their diets (Brito et al, 2005;Brunelli et al, 2012).…”

“…Birds fed with maize germ meal had heavier eggs, a result which agrees with Severo et al (2020), who found that the weight of the European quail egg reached a maximum of 23.92 g when fed with 43% maize meal and 1.417% digestible lysine. Sultana et al (2007) found Japanese quail produced egg weighing 9.74g when fed with a 60% maize diet, while Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 11, e76691110370, 2020(CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i11.10370 Parizadian et al (2011 reported mean egg weights of 11.91g for Japanese quail fed a diet of 50% maize. However, yellow quail fed different levels of corn in their diets showed no difference in egg weight (Li et al, 2011).…”

“…The increase in the bird's dietary calcium promoted an increase in the quality of the egg shell, compared to the other egg components. Sultana et al (2007) noted shell weight of 0.77g for Japanese quail fed with 60% maize diets, while Parizadian et al (2011) reported that shell weight of Japanese quail was of 1.04g when fed with 50% maize diets. In the current study the shell weight was 1.91 (first cycle) and 2.06 (second cycle).…”

The objective of the research was to study the effect of substitution of maize for maize germ meal in laying European quail diets. 240 female quails were used in a randomized design with three treatments and eight replications, containing 10 birds per plot. The treatments consisted of a maize and soybean meal-based reference diet and two levels of substitution of maize for maize germ meal, 50 and 100%. Evaluated parameters were: number of eggs per bird housed, laying rate, feed intake, feed conversion, weight of egg, yolk, albumen and shell, and yolk pigmentation. Parameters were evaluated using analysis of variance and Tukey test, with the significance level set at 5%. In the two laying cycles studied there was a difference in the number of eggs, percentage of laying, feed conversion, weight of egg, yolk and shell and yolk pigmentation. The replacement of maize by maize germ meal in diets for laying European quail can be carried out up to 100%, producing improvement in the productive performance of the birds and in egg quality.

The growing consumer demand for safe food offers great prospects for the production of quail meat. The progress in poultry farming is based on the use of hybrid breeds. This study was carried out at the Siberian Research Institute of Poultry (Omsk Region). Studied were the productivity and quality of quail meat of Japanese and Pharaoh breeds and their hybrid combinations (?Japanese×?Pharaoh and ?Pharaoh×?Japanese). Hybrid combinations had lower body weight than the Pharaoh breed (by 7.78-16.30%, p<0.05), but larger body weight than the Japanese breed (by 11.33-22.66%, p<0.05). The discrepancies in body weights are due to the weight of the pectorals, the share of which is 19.43-21.63% for males and 18.34-19.45% for females. The superficial pectoral muscle accounts for the bulk of the weight of the pectoral muscles (74.09-78.22%). The deep pectoral muscle accounts for 21.78-25.91%. The area of muscle fibers of the superficial pectoral muscle is 226-299 μm2, the area of deep pectoral muscle is 409-443 μm2. For hybrid combinations, the area of fibers of the superficial and deep pectorals depends on the male breed. The protein content in the pectoral muscles of the Pharaoh breed was higher than that of the Japanese by 1.01-1.02 g, but the fat content was lower by 0.24-0.96 g. In hybrids, the paternal form has an impact on the protein content in the pectoral muscles, and the maternal form has an impact on fat content.
