Japanese Quail: Susceptibility to Avian Tuberculosis
Avian Diseases, 1970Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), also called coturnix, is used widely as an experimental bird in avian research. Being small and weighing 100 to 500 g, it requires much less cage space than does the chicken. The coturnix is relatively easy to raise; it appears to thrive on commercially prepared turkey feed (1-3).

Systemic Amyloidosis in Laying Japanese Quail
Avian Diseases, 1998Systemic amyloidosis was seen in laying Japanese quail in a flock of a farm rearing 95,000 birds. The clinical signs included decreased egg production, anorexia, white diarrhea, and subcutaneous abscesses of the head. Histologically, amyloid deposited predominantly in the spleen and liver.

Reticulocyte numbers in Japanese quail chicks
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology, 1987Erythrocyte parameters in Coturnix coturnix japonica were evaluated daily during the first 2 weeks after hatching. Nadirs in total circulating erythrocyte numbers, hematocrit percentages, and hemoglobin concentrations were found during the first 5 days posthatch.

Plasma Calcitonin Levels in Japanese Quail
Endocrinology, 1973Plasma calcitonin levels have been determined by bioassay in Japanese quail and studied with respect to age and sex, and to calcium and magnesium challenge. The plasma calcitonin was assayed by the sensitive rat method of Sturtridge and Kumar, either directly or following Sephadex treatment by the method of Kenny. The plasma calcitonin levels were high,

Threonine metabolism in Japanese quail liver
Amino Acids, 2004In general, threonine is metabolized by reaction catalyzed by threonine-3-dehydrogenase (TDH), threonine dehydratase (TH) or threonine aldolase (TA). The activities of these three enzymes were compared in the liver of Japanese quails and rats. The animals were fed a standard or threonine rich-diet, or fasted for 3 days.

A Lymphoproliferative Disease in Japanese Quail
Avian Diseases, 1976A naturally occurring lymphoproliferative disease was found in 3 flocks of Japanese quail in Mexico. The tumorlike lesions were detected mainly in livers and spleens. Histopathology revealed a pleomorphic lymphoproliferative infiltration with dark-staining large cells, lymphocytes of different sizes, and reticulumlike cells.

Protein requirement of laying Japanese quail
British Poultry Science, 19791. Two feeding experiments were conducted to determine the crude protein requirement of laying Japanese quail. Birds were fed to provide 293 kJ ME and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 g protein/d. 2. As protein intake increased from 2 to 5 g egg production increased. 3.

Screening for Transgenic Japanese Quail Offspring
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2009INTRODUCTIONAfter mosaic founder breeding pairs of Japanese quail start to produce fertile eggs, the hatchlings must be screened for germ-line transmission to the subsequent G1 generation. This article describes how to isolate hatchling genomic DNA from the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), which remains inside the egg after hatching.

Sertoli Cell Tumors in Japanese Quail
Avian Diseases, 1986Testicles were collected from 33 male Japanese quails older than 3 years. Three of these quails (9.1%) had one or two large neoplastic testicles. These testicles were 2-5 times normal size, round, and firm, with cystic spaces of various sizes. Microscopically, there was marked intratubular Sertoli cell proliferation and various-sized cystic spaces ...
