“…Higher levels of Mg can cause physiological disorders in the digestive organs, but the consumption of water with levels of up to 350 mg L -1 did not promote physiological changes, demonstrating tolerance of the quails to waters with higher magnesium contents. Lima et al (2014) cite that increasing levels of water electrolyte balance (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 mEq/L) reduced the relative weight of the heart and liver. Rodrigues et al (2016) mention that quails raised in cyclic temperatures of 12 hours each of heat and thermoneutral temperature did not affect the weight of the liver.…”

“…Seo et al (2010) and Kim, Paik, & Kil (2013) cite increased weight and improved egg quality of laying hens supplemented with magnesium in the diet with ambient temperatures at 21 °C and 22±3 °C, respectively. Different concentrations of salts in the water can cause changes in the weight of the birds and their organs (Lima et al, 2014;Khalilipour et al, 2019), constituting physiological adjustments. Age, sex, and nutrient content in the diet can increase metabolism (Loyau et al, 2015) and, consequently, change the weight of the organs, such as heart, liver and gizzards.…”

“…Modern genotypes produce more body heat, and laying quails are tolerant to hot climates, but their thermal comfort zone is between 22 and 26 °C (El-Tarabany, 2016;Castro, Yanangi, Ferraz, & Fassani, 2017;Silva et al, 2017), with relative humidity between 65 and 70%. High temperatures can make it difficult to exploit and maximize quail production (Lima et al, 2014;Akdemir, Köseman, & Şeker, 2019), and small environmental changes are perceived by birds (Castro et al, 2017;Santos, Gates, Tinôco, Zolnier, & Baêta, 2017), causing an increase in water intake and a reduction in feed intake, which reduces egg production and quality (Vercese et al, 2012;El-Tarabany, 2016;Castro et al, 2017;Soares et al, 2019).…”

The objective was to evaluate the increasing levels of magnesium in the water supplied to laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica), kept in climatic chambers under thermoneutral temperature and thermal stress, on their performance and morphometry of their organs. The birds were distributed in a completely randomized design, 2x4 factorial arrangement, 2 temperatures (24 and 32 ºC) and 4 levels of magnesium in the water (50, 150, 250 and 350 mg L-1), with six replicates and eight birds per experimental unit. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and the means compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability level. The magnesium levels in the water did not affect (P > 0.05) the production performance and morphometry of the organs, with less water consumption at the magnesium level of 150 mg L-1, and birds kept at 32 °C had a reduction in feed consumption and feed conversion, but without affecting organ morphometry. Japanese quails in the production phase can consume water with magnesium levels up to 350 mg L-1 without having their production performance and morphometry of organs affected and raised in an environment with temperatures of up to 32 °C.

“…They concluded that an optimum DEB range of 220 mEq/kg to 240mEq/kg be maintained for adequate performance. Barbosa et al (2014) revealed that electrolyte balance may affect intestinal length, water intake and heart and liver relative weights. They concluded that electrolyte balance of 120mEq/kg in feed and 30mEq/L in drinking water may cause an increase in water intake of European quails reared under hot temperature.…”

Combating Heat Stress in Laying Hens a Review

Pakistan is located in the subtropical zone of the world where the ambient temperature remains higher most of the year and causes significant economic losses in commercial laying hens. The ambient temperature of some parts in Pakistan reaches up to 52 °C whilst, the ideal temperature for efficient performance for laying hens is 19-22°C. Yet, ambient temperature particularly on the higher side is very disruptive, therefore; heat stress during summer is a major problem of poultry producers in most regions of Pakistan. Several studies have investigated the biohazards of heat stress on production performance, physiology, immunology, digestibility of nutrients, hematology, serology, welfare, behavior and livability of commercial layers. During summer production at farms decreases drastically, thus adversely affecting the economics of layer farms, which might add to a number of culled birds. The key strategies to alleviate heat stress in laying birds are feeding practices and management practices. New innovative approaches such as exploiting and incorporating genes for heat tolerance and genetic marker assisted selection for genotypes with improved heat tolerance should also be explored. Therefore, this review article intends to discuss the effects of heat stress on layer birds’ health and production and various management and nutritional approaches to coping with it.

“…Erstwhile, groundwater was not a likely source of aluminium, but recent studies have also found high levels of aluminium in groundwater [68,46]. Aluminium toxicity ranges from mild effects like gastrointestinal disturbances to severe forms like hepatic, renal and recently implicated in Alzheimer's disease [69] (Table 3).…”

Water contamination exists in various forms with toxicants either deep within the water bed or within the external environment. The degree of toxicity depends on the level of exposure which depends on the quantity of contaminants, their half-lives, reactiveness and its degree of accumulation. This study aimed at assessing the physicochemical properties of domestic water such as pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids and total suspended solids. The ions determined were potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride and fluoride. Among the numerous heavy metals in extant within the environment, arsenic, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, iron and aluminium were also assessed. The water samples were collected from twenty (20) dug-out wells from nine (9) communities which were in proximity to a mining site. A CETAC ASX-520 autosampler was used for the sample introduction. The physicochemical properties were assessed with Hanna Benchtop pH/EC/TDS meter. Ions were measured using the Hach Lange Spectrometer. The heavy metals were analyzed using the thermo Scientific iCAP 7400 ICP-OES Duo. The measured samples were compared with the World Health Organization set guidelines. All the physicochemical properties exhibited derangements within some samples except for total dissolved solids. The results of the arsenic, cadmium, copper, zinc contaminants were found below the WHO acceptable limits while lead, iron and aluminium had some samples with levels above the acceptable limits. All the ions measured were within acceptable limits. Although, most heavy metals were within acceptable limits, however, bio-accumulation from long term exposure can lead to toxicity.
