“…In another study, the effect of different light sources on the post-hatch bodyweight of female Japanese quail was also studied. It was reported that; the lowest body weight score was obtained under compact fluorescent light (Bobadilla-Mendez et al, 2016). In another study, the effect of different types of lambs on the bodyweight of posthatch male Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was studied.…”

The objective of this study was to monitor the effect of exposing hatching quail eggs to high light intensity on testicular function Quail eggs were distributed into four groups; dark application during the 18-day incubation period (C), light application during the 18-day incubation period (L), 5 days of light + 13 days of darkness (5L), and 5 days of darkness + 13 days of light (5K) and incubated. After the hatch, 40 chicks were selected from each group and placed in rearing cages. On day 42 after hatching the quails were weighed and their testes were removed and then embedded in paraffin. The blood glucose level of the 5K group was higher than the blood glucose level of the L group, but there was no statistically important difference (P<0.05) between the L, C, and 5L groups. The diameters of seminiferous tubules were bigger in the 5L group as compared with the L group. The groups treated with light had bigger tubule diameters than the control group. The number of Sertoli cells was significantly lower in the C group. Incubating quail eggs under five days of darkness and thirteen days of light have a favorable effect on post-hatch male fertility potential

“…The results were expressed in percentage. (d) Sperm concentration: The spermatozoa concentration was measured with a haemocytometer (Bobadilla-Mendez et al, 2016;Chelmonska et al, 2008;Chełmońska et al, 2006): Spermatozoa of pipette erythrocyte suspension was homogenized with methylene blue, dropped into the Neubauer chamber count and observed under the microscope with a magnification of 400 times in five large boxes. The concentration of spermatozoa counted in 5 boxes (4 boxes at one end and the middle box) and the numbers are expressed in units X.10 9 /ml.…”

The bird is one of the most important sources of animal protein for people and smallholders in developing countries. However, it is also important to look at their reproductive activity to maintain a sustainable population. Omega-3, omega-6 fatty acid and synthetic cholesterol may improve reproductive characteristics in animals including quail. Several treatments can be used to improve the quality of reproduction of the quail. The research was conducted to know the effect of the use of omega-3, omega-6 fatty acid and synthetic cholesterol on sperm quality, testosterone level, the testes and the uropygium size of male quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). This research used 175 male quails at 6-w old. These divided into seven feed treatment groups. These are; R-0 (control), R-1 (0.163 mg omega-3/100g body weight (BW), R-2 (0.362 mg omega-3/100g BW), R-3 (0.163 mg omega-6/100g BW), R-4 (0.326 mg omega-6/100g BW), R-5 (20 mg cholesterol/100g BW) and R-6 (40 mg cholesterol/100g BW). The treatments were given orally for three different periods, within ten days. The data on testes size, uropygium sizes, and the testosterone level were analyzed statistically. The sperm quality data (sperm motility, sperm morphology, sperm viability, and sperm concentration) were analyzed with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The usage of omega-3, omega-6 fatty acid with a double dose (0.326 mg) showed the best response, which shows a significant increase of the testes weight (2.64 g), testes circumference (94.70 cm), testes volume (2.00 ml) and uropygium weight (2.75 g). Also, there was a significant increase in the level of testosterone (4.92 ng/ml). The use of double dose of (0.326 mg) omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid or 0.163 mg omega-3 and omega-6 gave a good quality of sperm, including improvements in sperm motility (78.30% and 78.30%), sperm viability (73.19% and 86.06%) and sperm concentration (250.00 × 10 9 /ml and 255.30 × 10 9 /ml).

“…Eye of poultry has a structure different from mammals. The light is detected more densely by retinal and extra-retinal photoreceptors [7] . Extra-retinal pineal gland and hypothalamus play a role in certain homeostatic, physiological, and reproductive events; whereas, retina directs growth and behaviors [1] .…”

“…In this sense, it is important to identify the wavelength that is appropriate to the goal of farming for species. Previous studies revealed that generally light with long wavelength or higher density contains higher energy and can reach to hypothalamus because of higher capability to penetrate in skull, thereby better results have been obtained in development of sexual organs, reaching to sexual maturity, activation of sexual hormones, egg production, and metabolic activities such as longer laying periods [1,7,9,10] . It was determined that the light with shorter wavelength or lower density could be easily detected by retinal receptor and retinal stimulation was sufficient in terms of growth and fattening performance [6,11,12] .…”

The study was conducted in order to compare the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) light with a different color on performance parameters, histomorphometric features of the small intestine and some blood parameters in growing partridges. For this purpose, a total of 450 Chukar partridges (Alectoris chukar) were perdivided into three experimental groups including green light (GL), daylight (DL) and blue light (BL), and 250-lumen lighting. Each group contained 150 partridges with 5 repetitions per group. Experimental groups balanced according to initial live weight and raised under the same feeding and environmental conditions within the scope of the needs of partridges during 35 days. GL group showed higher live weight (P<0.05), live weight gain (P<0.01) and feed intake (P<0.05). Feed conversion and viability rates were similar among the groups (P>0.05). Higher villus height (VH), villus width, villus surface area were obtained in GL group, followed by DL and BL (P<0.001). The differences in crypt depth (CD) and VH/CD were not significant (P>0.05). Serum glucose (P<0.01) and lactate dehydrogenase levels (LDH) (P<0.05) were increased in GL groups. Serum high-density lipoprotein level (HDL) was found to be higher in DL group (P<0.01). Consequently, GL group had better results in growing partridges. GL could be utilized under intensive farming conditions for partridges.
