“…Now, there are about 1050 million quails around the world, and 200 million in China, which takes the second place in the domestic poultry industry. Furthermore, the development of quail usage has a tendency to diversify [29][30][31] . This study was based on the distribution of two wild quail species in China, and analyzed the genetic coadaptability characteristic of the two wild quails with microsatellite markers.…”

Genetic coadaptability of wild Japanese quail, wild Common quail and Domestic quail populations in China was studied using 7 microsatellite DNA markers and Monte Carlo method to test genetic disequilibrium. The molecular effects of genetic coadaptability were analyzed through a new statistical model of neutral site. The results showed that genetic coadaptability dominated the genetic disequilibrium of the three quail populations, and totally 16.67%, 9.66% and 10.05% of non-allelic combinations were in the genetic disequilibrium in wild Japanese quail, wild Common quail and Domestic quail populations, respectively. Genetic coadaptability existed at almost all the tested sites. In the molecular point of view, genetic coadaptability plays an important role of keeping lots of polymorphisms in natural populations. Therefore, it is another key factor to the genetic disequilibrium in the population except for linkage. The results enrich the conceptions and connotations of genetic disequilibrium, and help us know more about genetic coadaptability and its effects, and lay a foundation of evaluation and protection of wild quail genetic resources in China.

A total number of 360 laying Japanese quail (8 weeks of age) were randomly divided into 12 groups. Birds in all groups had nearly the same average initial body weight. A factorial arrangement (4 × 3) was performed including four levels of dietary cadmium (Cd) as cadmium chloride (0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg diet) and three levels of feed additives (without, 300 mg/kg ascorbic acid and 1.50% natural clay). Results revealed that Cd contaminated feed caused significant (p < 0.01) retardation in body weight, lower egg number and egg mass and worse feed conversion. On the other hand, the addition of ascorbic acid or natural clay to quail diets caused a significant (p < 0.01) improvement in all studied traits. With respect to the interaction among Cd and the experimental additives, results showed that within each Cd level, ascorbic acid or clay supplementation recorded the highest body weight, egg number, egg weight and mass in addition to improved feed conversion. Cadmium levels decreased (p < 0.05) blood total protein, albumen and A/G ratio. Both 300 mg ascorbic acid and 1.50% clay increased (p < 0.05) blood total protein and albumen compared to non-supplemented groups. It could be concluded that the consumption of polluted diets Cd causes deleterious effects on the productive performance of laying Japanese quail. The addition of ascorbic acid or natural clay to the diets causes beneficial effects on productive performance traits, improves egg quality criteria and diminishes the toxic effects of Cd.

“…Quails were reared for the first time in 1279 AD in China for food. The advantages of quails are their small size, rapid growth, investment breeding and high valuable protein content (Chang et al 2005). Eggs of quail are expressed as exotic and observed at a gourmet business establishment serving food.…”

Significance and Impact of the Study: Because of the increasing consumer needs worldwide for quail eggs, regular evaluations are needed to produce safe and high-quality eggs. Therefore, this investigation was planned to assess the shell, interior quality and survival of Escherichia coli O157 at different boiling durations. This trial of the survival of E. coli O157 in boiled quail eggs after different periods is one of the fewest studies, particularly in the Middle East. Moreover, antibiotic residues were detected in raw eggs, and after the boil, depletion is below established maximum residual limits and safe for human consumption.
