Title Of Article :
Effects of stocking density on some egg quality parameters in caged 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 stocking densities. Three different cages with different stocking densities were used. Three groups were formed to provide 160, 200 and 266 cm^2 space to the birds. Some internal and external quality parameters were investigated. Among those, shape index, albumen index, haugh unit and yolk index were 79.175-79.95 %, 7.75-8.33 %, 86.52-88.31, 39.97-43.80 % for first, second and third groups, respectively. Effects of stocking density on the egg quality parameters were small (P 0.05).
