A thirty-six weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of inclusion of varying levels of Gmelina arborea on egg characteristics, using two (2) weeks old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Ninety-six birds were allocated to four dietary treatment groups with three (3) replicates of eight (8) birds each in a completely randomized design comprising of control (C) containing 0 g/kg; T1, 50 g/kg; T2, 100 g/kg and T3, 150 g/kg of Gmelina arborea leaf meal. Feed and water were provided throughout the experimental period. Egg characteristics were the response criteria that were monitored and subjected to a one-way anova. There were significant (p<0.05) differences observed between treatments for mean egg number and egg shell weight, while no differences (p>0.05) were observed between treatments for eggs composition, weight of eggs, egg shell thickness, egg length, egg width, albumen height, albumen width, albumen weight, yolk height, yolk width, yolk weight. From this study, the egg laying performance and characteristics of eggs laid by birds suggested that among the treatments, up to 50 g/kg of Gmelina arborea leaf meal could be successfully included in quails’ diets without any adverse effect

ABSTRACTADDITION TURMERIC GINGER, RHIZOME AND WHITE RHIZOME OF COMMERCIAL RATION TO EGGS’ QUALITY OF QUAILS.This study aims to determine the quality of quail eggs after added 2% turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.), ginger (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), and ginger and white (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc.) in the commercial ration. Animals used are of the type Coturnix-coturnix japonica quail females aged 6 weeks a total of 120 birds. Research using completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications, and each replication consisted of 6 tail quail. Treatment is given as follows: R0 = control diet; R1= ration with 2% turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.), R2 = 2% ration with ginger (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), R3 = 2% ration with ginger and white (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc.). results of the study showed that the addition of 2% turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.), ginger (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.), ginger and white (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc.) and not significantly different effect on egg weight, yolk color and egg shell thickness. And based on the results of this study concluded that the addition of 2% turmeric, ginger, ginger and white and can not increase egg weight, yolkcolor and egg shell thickness when added to a commercial ration.Keyword : Ration, Turmeric, Ginger, Ginger and White, Quail Eggs.

EFFECT OF LIGHT BULB COLOR ON EGG PRODUCTION OF QUAILS  (Coturnix Coturnix japonica). The present study was conducted to determine the effect of different color of light bulbs on egg production of Quails (Coturnix Coturnix japonica).  The trial was conducted for seven weeks during the egg laying period. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications was used to as experimental design. Treatments were formulated using 5 different light bulb colors, as follow:  R0 = no color (transparent) light bulb, R1 = yellow color light bulb; R2 = green color light bulb, and R3 = red color light bulb. The variables measured were: feed consumption, egg production, and egg weight. Research results showed that treatment did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect daily feed consumption, egg production, and egg weight. It can be concluded that color differences (transparent, yellow, green, and red) in lighting can be used interchangeably in Quail egg production purposes.Keywords: Light bulb color, Quail, feed consumption, egg production, egg weight

A 12-week study was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of LAYPLUS® (LP) on fertility and egg parameters of female Japanese quails, Coturnix coturnix japonica. Two hundred and ten birds of average weight of 167.75±3.94g were used for this study, and they were allocated randomly into seven treatment groups and replicated thrice. Group 1 served as control without inclusion of LAYPLUS®, while groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 had 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, 750mg/kg and 1000mg/kg inclusion of LP and group 6 had 240mg/kg of vitamin E, respectively, and group 7 clomiphene citrate. Eggs were collected daily and egg production was calculated on a bird-day basis. The data obtained were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. There was significant increase (p<0.05) in the egg production parameters namely egg weight, egg laid per hen and percentage laying rate of LP500mg/kg compared with other groups. The highest percentage egg production was by the LP500mg/kg at 57% while the lowest was by the LP250mg/kg at 41%. There was no significant difference in the egg weight and Haugh unit among the supplemented birds and the control group. There was significant difference among the treatments in the percentage hatchability of the eggs with LP500mg/kg eggs recording the highest value of 95.68%. It can be concluded from this experiment that supplementation of the feed with LP at 500mg/kg had beneficial effect on quail production through improved effect on egg production and hatchability.

25 Hydroxycholecalciferol

1. Studies were carried out in vitro with the livers of Japanese quail that had been fed from hatching on diets supplying their full requirements for vitamin D. 2. 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol was the major metabolite when liver homogenates of egg-laying female and oestrogen-treated quail of both sexes were incubated with [3H]cholecalciferol. 3. Very little 25-hydroxycholecalciferol was generated from liver homogenates of adult male and immature quail. Instead the cholecalciferol was converted into one or more compounds less polar than 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and into a number of highly polar metabolites, some of which were water-soluble. 4. Oestrogen not only stimulated the 25-hydroxylation of cholecalciferol but also protected both cholecalciferol and 25-hydroxycholecalciferol from degradation by the enzymic pathways active in immature and male birds. 5. These actions of oestrogen may be of physiological significance in relation to the high requirements of laying birds for 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol to support the intense metabolism of calcium associated with egg-shell calcification.

Study on newly laid eggs of Japanese quail Coturnix coturnix japonica was undertaken for a period of 18 days on incubation in controlled laboratory conditions. The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in egg weight, shell weight, yolk weight and embryo weight throughout the period of incubation. It had been found that as the embryo grows, the egg weight slowly goes down while embryo weight goes on increasing day by day. The study inferred that the shift or reduction in weight of egg is attributable to the progressive growth of embryo which utilizes its yolk contents for its growth. Apart from this, the shell weight also reduced from first day to last day in order to facilitate hatching of the embryo.
