“…Our results are in agreement with those of Baldini et al (1950) and Woodard et al (1977) who fed diets containing only vegetable protein and obtained adequate growth in Bobwhite quail and pheasants, respectively. Woodard and Snyder (1978) reported no effect on growth in partridges when exposed to 40 or 4 lx intensity.…”

“…No significant differences in daily feed consumption or feed conversion were observed between dietary groups (Table 2). This was contrary to the results of Baldini et al (1950), who found that feed conversion was higher in Bobwhite quail fed an all-vegetable protein diet as compared to birds fed a diet containing an animal protein supplement. However, improvements in diet formulation may account for these differences.…”

The Effect of Light Intensity, Temperature, and Diet on Growth in Red-Legged Partridge

et al. 1984

Three hundred Red-legged partridge chicks ( Alectoris graeca) were divided into two groups and fed starter diets calculated to contain 24.5 and 24.9% crude protein and 2646 and 2662 kcal/kg metabolizable energy, respectively. One diet consisted of 5% fish meal while the other contained all vegetable protein. One-half of the birds on each diet were grown under fluorescent light intensity of 300 lx; the remainder received 5 lx. The results indicated that neither the source of protein nor intensity of light had an effect on the rate of growth to 8 weeks of age. At 8 weeks of age, the birds were randomly divided among three climatic chambers and kept under a constant temperature of either 18.3, 23.9, or 29.5 C. At 12 weeks of age, one-half of the birds in each chamber were fed a 20% turkey grower diet; the remainder received equal parts by weight of the turkey grower diet and whole milo . Individual body weights and feed consumption were measured biweekly. Best growth was obtained in birds kept at 29.5 C and fed equal parts of turkey grower and milo from 12 to 30 weeks of age.

“…More closely allied, perhaps, with the subject of this paper is the work done with the quail (Baldini, 1951). It was found that the quail, which is normally said to require 28 percent protein in its diet (Norris, 1935;Nestler et al, 1942;Stadelman et al, 1945;Baldini et al, 1950), could be grown as successfully on a 20 percent protein diet. This diet was a corn-soybean oil meal type supplemented with small amounts of synthetic lysine and methionine and condensed fish solubles.…”

“…In many analyses, diets of bobwhite chicks should contain at least 28% of protein for optimal growth (Nestler et al., 1942, Baldini et al., 1950, Andrews et al., 1973). In a study conducted by Lochmiller et al.…”

Aulonocephalus pennula is a nematode living in the caeca of the wild Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) present throughout the Rolling Plains Ecoregion of Texas. The cytochrome oxidase 1 (COX 1) gene of the mitochondrial genome was used to screen A. pennula in wild quail. Through BLAST analysis, similarity of A. pennula to other nematode parasites was compared at the nucleotide level. Phylogenetic analysis of A. pennula COX1 indicated relationships to Subuluridae, Ascarididae, and Anisakidae. This study on molecular characterization of A. pennula provides new insight for the diagnosis of caecal worm infections of quail in the Rolling plains Ecoregion of Texas.
