The acute phase response in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2001Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, from S. typhimurium) or muramyl dipeptide (MDP, N-acetylmuramyl-L-ala-isoglutamine) in Japanese quail. Doses of MDP between 0.3 and 10 mg/kg body wt. had no effect on body temperature. In contrast, doses of 1.0-22.5 mg LPS/kg body wt.

Effects of methyltestosterone on reproduction in the Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Environmental Research, 2005Although the hormone-mediated effects of the synthetic androgenic hormone methyltestosterone (MT) are well characterized in mammals, little is known about endocrine and other toxic effects on reproduction in birds. In a one-generation study, MT was administered to adult Japanese quail (12 pairs per group) at dietary dose levels of 0, 10, 50, and 110 ...

Cutaneous candidiasis in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Mycopathologia, 1982Cutaneous candidiasis involving the foot pads of 5–30 weeks old Japanese quails was recorded in a large quail breeding unit. Histopathological lesions comprising granulomatous reaction in the dermis and hyperkeratosis resembled with those of candida granuloma of human beings.

Morphology of the cataract in albino mutant quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Experimental Eye Research, 1985Morphological changes in cataractous albino quail lens were studied by light microscopy. In some animals, a pin-head opacity in the lens could first be detected with the naked eye 2 months after hatching. Faint anterior or posterior cortical opacity was observed in many lenses at 3 months of age.

Mate-choice copying in Japanese quail,Coturnix coturnix japonica
Animal Behaviour, 1998We performed four experiments to examine effects on the mate choices of female Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica, of observing a male mate with another female. Each experiment was conducted in three phases: (1) a pre-test during which subject females were allowed to choose between two males with which to affiliate; (2) an observation phase, in

Seed Selection by Japanese Quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
American Midland Naturalist, 1978Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix jap?nica) raised on commercial mashes selected stable diets from combinations of 12 different kinds of seeds. Attainment of a stable preference required a short period (3-5 days),, although the birds had never before seen whole seeds. Birds generally maintained their weight and health when presented a variety of seeds,

The energetics of young Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1978Abstract 1. 1. Measurements of metabolized energy, resting metabolism and caloric content of the body are used to partition the energy utilization of young Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica, during growth and development. 2. 2. Metabolized energy (ME) in kcal/bird-day from the day of hatching through 42 days of age may be accurately ...

Pasteurella multocida Infection in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Avian Diseases, 1989Three flocks of Japanese quail, approximately 75,000 birds each, experienced acute high mortality beginning at 24 to 28 days of age. Gross lesions were absent or were composed of either multifocal small pale areas on livers and spleens or lungs slightly darker in color than normal.

The toxicity of dieldrin (HEOD) to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 1969Abstract Dieldrin, purity >99% HEOD, has been given to Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) at dietary concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 ppm. Mortality and dietary intake appeared to have been only marginally affected at 10 ppm, while the higher intakes gave progressively greater effects.
