One hundred twenty 21 day-old male Japanese quails were divided into three groups for a 35 days experimental rearing period. The control group (G0) included no injection as an intact, the second group (treatment 1/G50) received 50 ng ghrelin/kg body weight (BW), and the third group (treatment 2/G100) was given 100 ng ghrelin/kg BW.
