“…Higher levels of Mg can cause physiological disorders in the digestive organs, but the consumption of water with levels of up to 350 mg L -1 did not promote physiological changes, demonstrating tolerance of the quails to waters with higher magnesium contents. Lima et al (2014) cite that increasing levels of water electrolyte balance (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 mEq/L) reduced the relative weight of the heart and liver. Rodrigues et al (2016) mention that quails raised in cyclic temperatures of 12 hours each of heat and thermoneutral temperature did not affect the weight of the liver.…”

“…Seo et al (2010) and Kim, Paik, & Kil (2013) cite increased weight and improved egg quality of laying hens supplemented with magnesium in the diet with ambient temperatures at 21 °C and 22±3 °C, respectively. Different concentrations of salts in the water can cause changes in the weight of the birds and their organs (Lima et al, 2014;Khalilipour et al, 2019), constituting physiological adjustments. Age, sex, and nutrient content in the diet can increase metabolism (Loyau et al, 2015) and, consequently, change the weight of the organs, such as heart, liver and gizzards.…”

“…Modern genotypes produce more body heat, and laying quails are tolerant to hot climates, but their thermal comfort zone is between 22 and 26 °C (El-Tarabany, 2016;Castro, Yanangi, Ferraz, & Fassani, 2017;Silva et al, 2017), with relative humidity between 65 and 70%. High temperatures can make it difficult to exploit and maximize quail production (Lima et al, 2014;Akdemir, Köseman, & Şeker, 2019), and small environmental changes are perceived by birds (Castro et al, 2017;Santos, Gates, Tinôco, Zolnier, & Baêta, 2017), causing an increase in water intake and a reduction in feed intake, which reduces egg production and quality (Vercese et al, 2012;El-Tarabany, 2016;Castro et al, 2017;Soares et al, 2019).…”

The objective was to evaluate the increasing levels of magnesium in the water supplied to laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica), kept in climatic chambers under thermoneutral temperature and thermal stress, on their performance and morphometry of their organs. The birds were distributed in a completely randomized design, 2x4 factorial arrangement, 2 temperatures (24 and 32 ºC) and 4 levels of magnesium in the water (50, 150, 250 and 350 mg L-1), with six replicates and eight birds per experimental unit. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and the means compared by the Tukey test at 5% probability level. The magnesium levels in the water did not affect (P > 0.05) the production performance and morphometry of the organs, with less water consumption at the magnesium level of 150 mg L-1, and birds kept at 32 °C had a reduction in feed consumption and feed conversion, but without affecting organ morphometry. Japanese quails in the production phase can consume water with magnesium levels up to 350 mg L-1 without having their production performance and morphometry of organs affected and raised in an environment with temperatures of up to 32 °C.

“…Erstwhile, groundwater was not a likely source of aluminium, but recent studies have also found high levels of aluminium in groundwater [68,46]. Aluminium toxicity ranges from mild effects like gastrointestinal disturbances to severe forms like hepatic, renal and recently implicated in Alzheimer's disease [69] (Table 3).…”

Water contamination exists in various forms with toxicants either deep within the water bed or within the external environment. The degree of toxicity depends on the level of exposure which depends on the quantity of contaminants, their half-lives, reactiveness and its degree of accumulation. This study aimed at assessing the physicochemical properties of domestic water such as pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids and total suspended solids. The ions determined were potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride and fluoride. Among the numerous heavy metals in extant within the environment, arsenic, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, iron and aluminium were also assessed. The water samples were collected from twenty (20) dug-out wells from nine (9) communities which were in proximity to a mining site. A CETAC ASX-520 autosampler was used for the sample introduction. The physicochemical properties were assessed with Hanna Benchtop pH/EC/TDS meter. Ions were measured using the Hach Lange Spectrometer. The heavy metals were analyzed using the thermo Scientific iCAP 7400 ICP-OES Duo. The measured samples were compared with the World Health Organization set guidelines. All the physicochemical properties exhibited derangements within some samples except for total dissolved solids. The results of the arsenic, cadmium, copper, zinc contaminants were found below the WHO acceptable limits while lead, iron and aluminium had some samples with levels above the acceptable limits. All the ions measured were within acceptable limits. Although, most heavy metals were within acceptable limits, however, bio-accumulation from long term exposure can lead to toxicity.
