Title Of Article :
Effects of rearing in different cages on some egg quality in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Abstract :
Major purpose of this study was to investigate the egg quality of Japanese quails(Coturnix coturnix japonica) reared in different type cages. Two different cages, one for egg laying and one for breeding birds were used. Some internal and external quality parameters related to the quails were investigated. Among those, shape index, albumen index, haugh unit and yolk index were 79.18-78.67 % , 7.82-8.12 % , 86.64-86.52, 42.80-40.17 % for egg laying and breeding bird cages, respectively. Rigid albumin length and shell weight of eggs obtained from breeding type bird cage were found higher than those obtained from egg laying type cage. The differences in rigid albumin length and shell weight values between the two cage types were statistically significant (P 0.05).
