Effects of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) powder on laying performance, egg quality,and serum biochemical parameters of Japanese Quails
2019Co-Authors: Moula Nassim, Sadoudi Ahmed, Touazi Leghel, Leroy Pascal, Geda FikremariamAbstract:The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of stinging nettle powder (SNP) on laying performance, egg quality, and some selected serum biochemical parameters of Quails. One hundred and forty-four 10-wk-old Japanese Quails (initial body weight = 199 ± 18 g) were divided into 3 dietary treatment groups (basic diet without SNP [SNP0], SNP0 with 3% SNP [SNP3], SNP0 with 6% SNP [SNP6]) with 4 replicates of 12 Quails for a rearing period of 12 wk. At 22 wk of age, the final body weights of the SNP3 and SNP6 groups were significantly (P = 0.001) reduced compared to that of the SNP0 group. Daily feed intake was not statistically different among the groups. The mean number of eggs laid ranged from 65 to 69 with laying rates from 76.8% to 82.1%. The percentage of cracked eggs was not significantly different among the groups and ranged from 1.6% to 1.9%. The egg weight was similar and the feed conversion ratio was closer among the groups. The egg yolk cholesterol, serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels in the SNP6 group were significantly reduced (P < 0.001) compared to those of the SNP0 group. Serum Ca, P and Mg were not significantly influenced by the supplementation. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the supplementation of SNP to the quail diet at the level of 6% reduced quail egg yolk cholesterol, serum total cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels and did not negatively influence quail performance.Peer reviewe

are farm reared Quails for game restocking really common Quails coturnix coturnix a genetic approach
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Ines Sanchezdonoso, Carles Vila, Manel Puigcerver, Dalius Butkauskas, Jose Ramon Caballero De La Calle, Pablo Antonio Moralesrodriguez, Jose Domingo RodriguezteijeiroAbstract:The common quail (Coturnix coturnix) is a popular game species for which restocking with farm-reared individuals is a common practice. In some areas, the number of released Quails greatly surpasses the number of wild breeding common quail. However, common quail are difficult to raise in captivity and this casts suspicion about a possible hybrid origin of the farmed individuals from crosses with domestic Japanese quail (C. japonica). In this study we used a panel of autosomal microsatellite markers to characterize the genetic origin of Quails reared for hunting purposes in game farms in Spain and of Quails from an experimental game farm which was founded with hybrids that have been systematically backcrossed with wild common Quails. The genotypes of these quail were compared to those of wild common quail and domestic strains of Japanese quail. Our results show that more than 85% of the game farm birds were not common quail but had domestic Japanese quail ancestry. In the experimental farm a larger proportion of individuals could not be clearly separated from pure common Quails. We conclude that the majority of quail sold for restocking purposes were not common quail. Genetic monitoring of individuals raised for restocking is indispensable as the massive release of farm-reared hybrids could represent a severe threat for the long term survival of the native species.

the effects of mowing and agricultural landscape management on population movements of the common quail
Journal of Biogeography, 2009Co-Authors: Jose Domingo Rodriguezteijeiro, Francesc Sardapalomera, Jesus Nadal, Xavier Ferrer, Carolina Ponz, Manel PuigcerverAbstract:Aim Information on the movements of bird populations in extensive landscapes is needed to assess environmental effects and conservation strategies over appropriate temporal and spatial scales. The common quail (Coturnix coturnix) is a game bird that breeds mainly in dense cereal crops. These crops cover huge areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of this work is to relate cereal mowing, which causes rapid and massive habitat loss for the common quail, to population movements of the species during its breeding season. Location Spain, southern Europe. Methods We used ring recoveries to analyse, using circular statistics, the orientation of movements by male common Quails in the northern half of Spain. Forward stepwise multiple regressions were applied to correlate (1) the Julian day of cereal harvesting at 770 locations with the respective latitude, longitude and elevation, and (2) the number of hunted birds with hunting pressure, breeding densities and mean mowing date by province. Finally, data concerning the number of Quails hunted at the end of the breeding season were compared by province and year using two-way ANOVA. Results Our results show that during the breeding season in the northern half of Spain, male Quails orient their movements towards higher areas, and mainly to the northern Castilian Plateau. These are the areas of Spain where cereals are harvested latest. Moreover, records show that the number of Quails hunted is significantly higher in these areas than in other areas of the country, independently of hunting pressure and breeding densities, and it is extremely high in the northern Castilian Plateau. Main conclusions Cereal mowing combined with some Spanish geographical characteristics acts as a funnel, forcing quail populations to concentrate in certain areas of Spain at the end of the breeding season. This implies that the number of Quails hunted in these areas may be high, and that they therefore constitute priority conservation areas.

detecting hybridization in wild coturnix c coturnix and domesticated coturnix c japonica quail populations
Biological Conservation, 2005Co-Authors: Marina Barilani, Sébastien Derégnaucourt, Manel Puigcerver, Jose Domingo Rodriguezteijeiro, S Gallego, Loris Galli, Nadia Mucci, R Piombo, S Rimondi, S SpanoAbstract:Two subspecies of Coturnix coturnix have allopatric distributions in Europe, Maghreb and western Asia (the Common quail C. c. coturnix), and in eastern Asia (the Japanese quail C. c. japonica), except for sympatric breeding areas in the Baikal (Russia) and Kentei (Mongolia) regions, where they could hybridize. Japanese Quails have been reproduced in captivity for centuries and domesticated. Massive releasing of Japanese domesticated Quails, or hybrids, in west European countries might threaten with hybridization the gene pool of wild quail populations. Here, we used mitochondrial (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA markers (microsatellites), and Bayesian admixture analyses aiming to assess subspecies distinction and identify hybrids in wild and captive-reared Quails. A phylogenetic tree identified two major mtDNA clades, corresponding to the two subspecies, and allowed detecting 12 hybrids in wild Common Quails sampled in Spain. Additional hybrids were identified in wild Quails sampled in Spain, Italy and Senegal using microsatellite markers. Wild Quails sampled in Mongolia showed japonica mtDNAs, but their microsatellite genotypes were admixed, suggesting that Common and Japanese Quails can hybridize in nature. Some captive-reared stocks of Japanese Quails were also admixed. Introgression of domesticated Japanese quail genes in wild Common quail populations might affect the phenotypic expression of functional traits, as body size, feather colours, sexual calls and migratory behaviours. Hence, restocking with captive-reared non-native Quails should be banned.

atrazine triggers hepatic oxidative stress and apoptosis in Quails coturnix c coturnix via blocking nrf2 mediated defense response
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2017Co-Authors: Cong Zhang, Lirun Xiang, Lei Qin, Jia LinAbstract:The bioaccumulation and environmental persistence of atrazine (ATZ) poses a severe hazard to animal ecosystem. Quail has strong sensitivity to environmental pollutant, thus it is one of the most important ecological pollution indicator. However, true proof for the effects of ATZ exposure on the liver of Quails is lacking. To evaluate the liver injury and the role of Nrf2-mediated defense responses during ATZ exposure, male Quails were treated with ATZ (0, 50, 250 and 500mg/kg) by oral gavage for 45 days. Histopathological and ultrastructural changes, oxidative stress indices, apoptosis-related factors and Nrf2 pathway were detected. ATZ caused irreparable mitochondrial damage and destroyed morphophysiological integrity of the quail liver. Lower level ATZ ( 500mg/kg) induced oxidative stress and apoptosis through decrease of non-enzymatic antioxidant, antioxidant enzymes and anti-apoptosis factors and increase of apoptosis factors expressions. Taken together, our results suggested that ATZ-induced hepatotoxicity in Quails was associated with blocking Nrf2-mediated defense response.

performance of a novel atrazine induced cerebellar toxicity in quail coturnix c coturnix activating pxr car pathway responses and disrupting cytochrome p450 homeostasis
Chemosphere, 2017Co-Authors: Jun Xia, Lei Qin, Jia LinAbstract:Atrazine is well known to be a biologically hazardous substance with toxic effects, but atrazine-induced neurotoxicity remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of atrazine-induced cerebellar toxicity. To determine atrazine-exerted potential neurotoxicity, Quails were treated with 50, 250 and 500 mg/kg atrazine by gavage administration for 45 days. Notably, the changes of cytochrome P450 enzyme system (CYP450s) were observed in atrazine-exposed Quails. The contents of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and Cytochrome b5 (Cyt b5) and the activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (NCR), aminopyrin N-demethylase (APND) and aniline-4-hydeoxylase (AH) were increased and erythromycin N-demethylase (ERND) was decreased in quail cerebellum. Nuclear xenobiotic receptors (NXRs) and the transcriptions of NXRs-related target molecules were influenced in cerebellum. Atrazine disrupted the CYP450s balance in quail cerebellum. These results suggested that atrazine-induced cerebellar toxicity in birds was associated with activating PXR/CAR pathway responses and disrupting cytochrome P450 homeostasis. This study provided novel evidences that atrazine exposure induced cerebellar toxicity.
