“…The second blood sample was collected in a clean, sterilized labeled tube without anticoagulant and centrifuged at 3the 000 rpm for 10 min. The serum was separated and kept at − 20 °C until analysis by ELISA using (Cortisol II, cobasR, USA) kits as recommended by (Shusha et al, 2021).…”

The current study was carried out to estimate the effect of environmental enrichments (E.E.) on behavioral patterns, growth performance, and hematological and hormonal changes in Japanese quail. A total number of 216 healthy Japanese quails 1-month-old with an average body weight of 135.66 ±1.32 g was randomly assigned to three groups (72 birds each), and each group was divided into three replicates (24 birds each) with a sex ratio of 1 male to 3 females according to the environmental enrichment within the pen. The first group had no environmental enrichment (control group), the second group was subjected to visual enrichment by using mirrors 40 cm in length fixed into the pen in the wall behind the birds (mirror group), while the birds in the third group were subjected to auditory enrichment through using of classical music which comes from speaker hanged at one corner of the pen. Behavioral patterns and growth performance were recorded weekly. At the end of the study, 15 birds from each group were selected randomly and slaughtered to obtain blood samples; 6 ml of blood was collected from each bird for hematological analysis and cortisol determination. The obtained results revealed that environmental enrichments especially using music, improved the feeding and comfort behaviors of Japanese quail and reduced aggression followed by mirror group and control one. No significant effect of E.E. on growth performance (P<0.05). In conclusion, environmental enrichments of Japanese quail houses improved the behavioral patterns.

“…In meat poultry production, restricted feeding ( RF ) was widely used to reduce lipid deposition in meat ducks ( Saibaba et al, 2021 ). Previous studies have shown that RF could affect growth performance, reproduction, and metabolic function of meat poultry, especially on lipid metabolism and deposition ( Pan et al, 2014 ; Mehus et al, 2021 ; Shusha et al, 2021 ).…”
