“…Regarding humoral immune response study, all birds were vaccinated at 14th week of age subcutaneously with inactivated Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine (Intervet International, B.V., Boxmeer‐Holland, per dose ND clone 30 ≥ 50 PS 50 inactivated in oil adjuvant emulsion, Batch No. 080459 F) (Paulillo et al., ). Blood samples were collected from the wing vein at 15, 16 and 17 weeks of age.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different cage stocking densities on egg production parameters, as well as related stress and immunity indices in Japanese quails under subtropical Egyptian conditions. Two hundred and sixteen birds of Japanese quail at 14th week of age were used in this experiment. The birds were divided randomly into three groups: 60, 72 and 84. Each group subdivided into 4 replicates, where the cages' floor spaces were 200 (S1 ), 167 (S2 ) and 143 (S3 ) cm(2) /bird, respectively. Birds housed at 200 cm(2) /bird (S1 ) had superior fertility (fertility % (p = 0.013) and hatchability % (p = 0.041)), egg production (egg weight (p = 0.034) and egg mass (p = 0.001)) and immunity parameters (higher geometric mean of antibody titres against Newcastle disease virus, p = 0.024). Furthermore, they had higher internal egg quality score: albumen height (p = 0.003), yolk height (p = 0.023), yolk index (p = 0.006) and Haugh unit (p = 0.035). Birds housed at 143 cm(2) /bird (S3 ) had the lowest total leucocytic count and lymphocyte % (p = 0.022), but the highest H/L ratio (p = 0.001). Corticosterone concentration was lower in S1 group (p = 0.031) than that in groups housed at higher densities. Japanese quail housed at high densities revealed drop in fertility, hatchability, production and immunity parameters, indicating a detrimental effects on both welfare and economic income.

“…The immune response to NDV vaccines in different lines of Japanese quail was studied and the results showed that double vaccination at 4 and 6 weeks of age with inactivated vaccine induced high antibody level in the high line breed that was 24% greater than control one, but in the low line, the antibody level was 37% less than that in the control (Takahashi et al, 1984). Vaccination using both living vaccines like La Sota or Hitchner B1 and inactivated vaccines is very important for efficient eradication of NDV in quails (Lima et al, 2004 andPaulillo et al, 2009).…”

The poultry industry is considered an important sector that meets the great demand for protein sources all over the world. Now, quails are recognized as promising and important alternative species with many advantages over other poultry species. In many countries around the world, quail meat has achieved great popularity as a good source of protein and other important nutrients. However, there are some limitations and challenges to quails production. One of them is the susceptibility to some viral, bacterial, mycotic and parasitic diseases that can adversely affect quails. Many of the diseases that affect quails cause severe economic losses in quail industry due to a decrease in growth performance, poor feed conversion, reduction in hatchability, increased mortality and treatment costs. There are limited research and literature dealing with different disease and conditions affecting quails. Therefore, the aim of this work was to present a comprehensive review of the most important emerging diseases affecting quails worldwide.

“…They mature in about six weeks and are usually in full egg production by 50 d with production up to 200 eggs to 300 eggs in their first year of lay [2]. Many studies showed that quail could easily adapt to commercial management conditions [3]. Quail meat and eggs are renowned for their high quality of protein, high biological value and low caloric content [4].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hatchery waste meal in ration on performance of quails. The experiment used 500 quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica Temminck & Schlegel, 1849) aged 30 d with an average initial body weight of 94.75 g ± 4.17 g. The quails were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with five replicates containing twenty quails. The dietary treatments were: P0 = basal ration; P1 = 96 % basal ration + 4 % whole hatchery waste meal; P2 = 92 % basal ration + 8 % whole hatchery waste meal, P3 = 96 % basal ration + 4 % shells hatchery waste meal, P4 = 92 % basal ration + 8 % shells hatchery waste meal. The dietary treatments were given for 28 d. Performance data were analyzed by using analysis of variance, and when the treatment indicated significant effects, it was continued with orthogonal contrast test. Feeding hatchery waste meal improved the performance of quails (P < 0.05). Shells hatchery waste meal improved egg production, feed conversion, and protein efficiency ratio than whole hatchery waste meal (P < 0.05). Feeding 8 % whole hatchery waste meal improved egg production than 4 % whole hatchery waste meal (P < 0.05), while feeding 8 % shells hatchery waste meal tended to improve egg production than 4 % shells hatchery waste meal (P = 0.09). It can be concluded that hatchery waste meal improved the performance of quails, particularly 8 % shells hatchery waste meal, which showed the best response.
