The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify Mycoplasma gallisepticum in quails with clinical and pathological signs of chronic respiratory disease (CRD), and to compare the sensitivity and specificity of commonly used serological tests that are used for the detection of M. gallisepticum antibodies. The study included 20 Japanese quails 10-weeks old with respiratory distress, nasal discharge, mortality and swollen infraorbital sinuses. There was no bacteriological agent isolated. All of the 20 sera samples obtained from the quails were evaluated with AGID, RSA, HI, and ELISA; 2 (10%), 5 (25%), 10 (50%), and 17 (85%) sera samples were …

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on the histological development of the thoracic part of the m. longus colli dorsalis (m. spinalis thoracis) in Japanese quail embryos. A single in ovo dose of recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1) (100 ng embryo^{-1}) was administered through the blunt end of eggs via a single hole made with a dental drill bit, without penetrating the chorioallantoic membrane. For histological evaluation, the embryos were collected daily from days 7 to 16 of embryonic development (E). In ovo administration of rhIGF-1 increased the diameter of muscle …
