Effects Of Selection For Four Week Body Weight On Reproductiveperformance In Japanese Quail, Levent Türkmut, Özge Altan, İsmai̇l Oğuz, Servet Yalçin

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This research was carried out to determine the genetic effects of divergent selection under two different selection pressures for four week body weight over three generations on reproductive characteristics and some egg characteristics in Japanese quail. Birds were weighed individually. Individual selection for body weight was carried out at four weeks, separately for each sex. The proportion kept was 10% for males and 30% for females in 10Y and 10D lines, and 20% for males and 60% females in 20Y and 20D lines. 10Y and 20Y lines were selected for high body weight, 10D and 20D lines were selected for …

Effects Of Dietary Supplemental Sodium Bicarbonate On Some Egg Characteristics And Blood Parameters In Japanese Quail Reared Under High Enviromental Temperature, Ferda Okan Jan 1999

Effects Of Dietary Supplemental Sodium Bicarbonate On Some Egg Characteristics And Blood Parameters In Japanese Quail Reared Under High Enviromental Temperature, Ferda Okan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplemental sodium bicarbonate on egg production, egg weight, shell quality, feed conversion efficiency, blood pH, plasma Na+ values and blood gas in Japanese quail Layers reared under high environmental temperature. In this study, 9 weeks old 60 female Japanese quail Layers were used and divided equally into two groups. The control group was fed with basal diet where the second group was fed with a diet containing 0.2 % NaHCO_3. The results showed that, NaHCO_3 supplementation improved egg production (%), shape index (%) and egg shell weight (gr) …
