El estudio tuvo como objetivo relacionar medidas morfométricas del huevo de codorniz Coturnix coturnix japonica con el peso al nacimiento en una línea comercial de postura. Se evaluaron 274 aves al nacimiento, cuyos huevos fértiles fueron clasificados en tres categorías según el peso: (1) 10.00-10.99, (2) 11.00-11.99, (3) 12.00-12.99 g para la variable peso al nacimiento, mientras que las variables: diámetro transversal y diámetro longitudinal del huevo, índice de forma fueron evaluadas según cuartiles. Además se evaluó el sexo del ave. Se utilizó un modelo de bloques completamente al azar y correlaciones entre las variables cuantitativas. Se obtuvo una correlación media de 0.65 entre peso del huevo y diámetro longitudinal, y correlaciones bajas entre las variables diámetro longitudinal y transversal (0.15). El peso al nacimiento fue de 7.36±0.038, 7.92±0.036 y 8.47±0.058 g en las categorías 1, 2 y 3, respectivamente y de 7.83±0.0672, 7.81±0.0681, 7.69±0.0665 y 7.85±0.0682 g en los cuartiles 1, 2, 3 y 4, respectivamente. El índice de forma del huevo fue 70.22±0.321%. El peso de las codornices macho fue 7.84±0.0347 y en hembras de 8.00±0.0358 (p<0.05). El diámetro transversal y longitudinal del huevo permite seleccionar visualmente un huevo incubable, siendo el diámetro transversal el más preciso, debido a que no se quieren codornices pesadas al nacimiento.

The study aims to determine the impact of dietary crude protein levels on the hematological parameters of Japanese quail from growth to ovipositor. To this end, five feeds with different crude protein levels (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26%) were supplied to 700 quails of three weeks of age. These were subdivided into six batches, including three batches of females and three batches of males for each feed group. After subjecting the quails to diets containing the different protein levels, four samples were taken at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh week of age. The samples taken were analyzed using an SYSMEX XN 350 automated hematological analyzer. The results of this investigation indicated that non-significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in hematological parameters in both female and male quails. This study showed that dietary crude protein levels had no impact on the health status of Japanese quails. Keywords: Japanese quails, Crude protein, Hematological parameters.

Livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) is a zoonotic pathogen that has been reported in several animals, and it is often associated with clonal complex (CC) 398. We aimed to isolate MRSA from quails and to characterize their antimicrobial resistance and genetic lineages. One hundred swab samples were recovered from quails at the slaughterhouse. The swabs were inoculated onto CHROMagar™ MRSA agar plates for MRSA isolation. The presence of antimicrobial-resistant genes and virulence factors was investigated by PCR. All strains were typed by MLST, SCCmec-, spa- and agr-typing. From the 100 samples, 29 MRSA were isolated. All strains were resistant to penicillin, cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and clindamycin and carried the blaZ, mecA, ermB and ermC genes. All strains, except one, showed resistance to tetracycline and harbored the tetM, tetK and tetL genes in different combinations. Twenty strains belonged to ST398 and SCCmec type V, and nine strains belonged to the new ST6831. Twenty-eight out of twenty-nine strains were ascribed to t011 and one to t108. As far as we know, this is the first report of MRSA from quails slaughtered for human consumption. Most strains belonged to ST398-t011, which is the most common LA-MRSA clone found in livestock in Europe.
