“…The breast meat of Japanese quails is lean, therefore infiltrated fat did not exert any influence on b* values although some pigments could enhance or attenuate colour in the yellow-blue spectrum. Our results agree with those in previous studies of other authors (13,14,27,29).…”

At 35 days of age, meat quality analysis was done as well as proximate analysis of breast and thigh muscles of 72 male quails from heavy Pharaoh line. Lightness values (L*) depended both on the time of post mortem analysis and of topographic site – lateral or medial muscle surface of the pectoral muscle. The L* value of lateral M. pectoralis superficialis (MPS) was higher. Redness and yellowness of meat increased proportionally to post mortem ageing, with peak values on the 24th post mortem hour. The chroma was more expressed on the medial MPS surface. With regard to determination of a common index of meat colour based on CIE L*a*b* coordinates, we propose the calculation of Meat Colour Index (MCI) according to the formula: MCI = (L* - C*). The meat of Japanese quails had high protein and low fat content. Gross energy of breast meat was within 5.03 - 6.13 MJ*kg-1, and that of thigh meat between 4.90 and 5.75 MJ*kg-1. The processing mode of carcasses by removing the skin made quail meat an exceptionally dietetic product with fat content < 3%.

“…The results from a number of previous studies were in line with ours (Milvielle, 2002;Genchev, 2014;Karthika and Chandirasekaran, 2016). Body weight of the quails from the three groups at 35 days of age was significantly higher than the presented from Wilkanowska and Kokoszynski (2011) in Pharaoh quails at 42 days of age (169.1 g). Following the age development of this parameter in the three studied groups, we can conclude that a tendency to higher values of the body weight was observed in the birds supplemented with 0.5% silymarin in the feed compared to controls and EG 1%.…”

A total of 90 14-day-old meat type male Japanese quails were included in the experiment and equally divided into 3 groups: control group (CG) without treatment, experimental group 1 (EG 0.5%), supplemented with silymarin 0.5% and experimental group 2 (EG 1%), supplemented with silymarin 1%. The aim of the current study was to establish the effect of supplementation with different doses of silymarin extract on the growth performance and some hematological parameters in male Japanese quails. Main growth performance (body weight, feed consumption and weight gain) were examined and FCR was calculated. Some hematological (WBC, RBC, HGB and HTC) and biochemical (triglycerides, AST and ALT) parameters were determined. The highest average body weight was observed in EG 0.5% group at 35-day-old age and the lowest in EG 1%, 239.61±2.96 g and 231.74±2.96 g respectively. The highest values of the weight gain were calculated in EG 0.5% group, 67.02±2.03 g during the first week of fattening and the lowest was observed in EG 1% group at the fifth week after hatching, 23.30±2.03 g respectively. The lowest values of FCR were observed during the first week of the trial, 2.42±0.08 kg/kg to 2.61±0.13 kg/kg in EG 1% and the control group respectively. The supplementation of 0.5% and 1% silymarin did not significantly change the studied hematological and biochemical parameters. A tendency of higher values of triglycerides and lower values of AST and ALT was observed in the groups, supplemented with silymarin compared to the controls. From the obtained results of the present study we can conclude that the silymarin supplementation at higher doses (0.5% and 1%) did not have effect on the main growth performance and some hematological and biochemical parameters of male Japanese quails.

“…Among different parental age groups, the progeny of14-week-old parents presented higher (57.97±0.48) carcass yield compared with those from 12-(55.49±0.29) and 10-(54.93±0.35) week-old parents. A significant effect of age on carcass yield was also observed in Pharaoh quails by Wilkanowska & Kokoszynski (2011). The interaction among selection strategies, close-bred flocks and parental age groups significantly influenced (p≤0.05) carcass yield.…”
