Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Coccidiosis in broilers: Evaluation of infection by the examination of broiler house litter for Oocysts [PDF]
A study was made of the incidence of coccidial oocysts in approximately 1,660 samples of litter from 48 broiler houses on 5 broiler farms during a 12 month period during 1974-75. Oocysts of Eimeria acervulina and Eimeria maxima predominated in the samples but oocysts resembling Eimeria brunetti and Eimeria tenella were sometimes present. Oocyst numbers
