Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Lh; Hormone secretion; Blood plasma; Cloaca; Breeding season; Photoperiod; Natural light; Light intensity; Environmental temperature; Spring; Summer; Autumn; Seasonal fluctuations Abstract: Japanese quail of the strain used in our laboratory do not show a complete decrease in levels of circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations and show no collapse of the testes following their transfer from long to short days under laboratory conditions. Thus, merely manipulating photoperiods in the laboratory does not simulate an annual breeding cycle. To see whether an annual breeding cycle does exist in "our" quail under natural conditions, mature male birds were housed in individual cages and placed on the roof of a building at 35 degrees 45'N, 139 degrees 53'E; day length and ambient temperature were not controlled at all though food and water were continuously supplied. For 16 months blood was collected every week and the area of the cloacal protrusion measured at the time of each blood collection. The results showed that levels of plasma LH and the area of the cloacal protrusion had a clear annual cycle under the natural conditions. To detect more precisely the changes in circulating LH concentrations during spring and autumn, samples were collected every other day. The first significant increase in levels of plasma LH was found when the day length exceeded 12-12.5 hr, though the increase was sporadic and not synchronized among individuals. The results also showed that circulating levels of LH declined significantly in early September starting when the day length was still about 14 hr; this downward trend continued rather steadily to nonbreeding levels. The record of ambient temperatures indicated that in early spring there was a fairly constant range of low temperatures despite some fluctuations, and in late summer to early autumn temperatures began to decrease although the daytime levels remained high. These results indicate that (1) under natural conditions our Japanese quail showed clear annual breeding cycles, (2) the increase in plasma LH in early spring was sporadic and not necessarily proportional to the increase in day length, and (3) the de 6 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Phasianus colchicus; Toxicity; Aflatoxins; Ochratoxins; T-2 toxin; Mortality; Body weight; Feed conversion; Liver; Kidneys; Lesions Abstract: Ringneck pheasants were fed diets containing 1.25, 2.5, or 5 ppm aflatoxin; 1, 2, or 4 ppm ochratoxin A (OA); or 4, 8, or 16 ppm T-2 toxin. Severe toxin-induced mortality was seen during the first to third weeks with 2.50 and 5.00 ppm aflatoxin (92.5% and 97.5% respectively), compared with the mortality in control pheasants fed no toxin (O%). Slight mortality (less than or equal to 5%) was seen with OA and T-2 toxin. Body weights were significantly decreased by the lowest level (1.25 ppm) of aflatoxin by 2 weeks of age, by the two highest levels of aflatoxin by 1 week of age, and by 16 ppm T-2 toxin by 1 week of age. The feed-conversion ratio was increased by 2.50 and 5.00 ppm aflatoxin compared with the feed-conversion ratio in controls, although high mortality may have influenced the results. Aflatoxin had no effect on liver weight, but OA increased kidney weight in 3-week-old pheasants. Mouth lesions were seen in some of the pheasants fed T-2 toxin. 22 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Colinus Virginianus; Toxicity; Aflatoxins; Ochratoxins; T-2 toxin; Mortality; Body weight; Feed conversion; Liver; Kidneys; Lesions; Phasianus colchicus; Partridges Abstract: Bobwhite and Japanese quail were fed diets containing 1.25, 2.50,or 5.00 ppm aflatoxin; 1, 2, or 4 ppm ochratoxin A (OA); or 4, 8, or 16 ppm T-2 toxin. Aflatoxin induced mortality in bobwhites during the second and third week with 1.25 ppm (10%), 2.50 ppm (30%), and 5.00 ppm (40%), and during the same period with T-2 toxin at 8 ppm (20%) and 16 ppm (22.5%). Body weights of bobwhite quail were significantly decreased by the two higher levels of aflatoxin by 2 weeks of age, and by the two higher levels of T-2 toxin by 1 week of age. In Japanese quail, only the highest level of aflatoxin and T-2 toxin reduced body weight (by 3 weeks and by 1 week of age, respectively), and even then to a much lesser extent than in bobwhites (< 0%). Aflatoxin did not affect feed-conversion ratio (FCR) in bobwhite quail, but the two higher levels of T-2 toxin increased FCR. None of the toxins induced mortality or increased the FCR in Japanese quail. Aflatoxin increased liver weight in both bobwhite and Japanese quail. OA increased kidney weight in 3-week-old Japanese quail but had no effect on the kidney weight of bobwhite quail. Mouth lesions were progressively more severe in bobwhite quail fed increasing levels of T-2 toxin, but lesions were far less severe in Japanese quail. 23 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Aviary birds; Diet; Feeding; Psittacosis; Psittaciformes; Doxycycline; Chlamydia psittaci; Drug therapy; Experiments; Animal experiments Abstract: A trial was conducted to determine the doxycycline plasma concentrations attained by feeding a medicated corn diet to large psittacine birds. Doxycycline is the preferred drug for the treatment of chlamydiosis in psittacine birds. Healthy macaws were fed a 0.1% doxycycline-medicated corn diet for 45 days, and plasma doxycycline concentrations were determined by microbiological assay on treatment days 3, 15, 30, and 45. Plasma doxycycline concentrations exceeded 1 microgram/ml in 87% of the samples assayed. As blood concentrations of 1 microgram/ml are considered therapeutic, a doxycycline-medicated corn diet may be efficacious in the treatment of chlamydiosis in large psittacine birds. 32 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Dehydration; Water deprivation; Heat stress; Environmental temperature; Body temperature; Brain; Temperature; Respiration rate Abstract: 1. The effect of dehydration and heat exposure on body and brain temperature was studied in quail exposed to increasing ambient temperatures within the range of 25-40 degrees C. 2. The body-to-brain temperature difference was not affected by increasing ambient temperature or hydration state. A mean body-to-brain temperature difference of 0.96 +/- 0.64 degrees C and 0.85 +/- 0.65 degrees C was found in normally hydrated and dehydrated quail, respectively. 3. The slope of the relation between brain temperature to body temperature (0.77) was significantly lower than 1.0 (P < 0.001), when the results of the two hydration states were pooled. This indicates increased brain cooling with increased body temperature. 4. Body and brain temperatures of water-deprived quail were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those of hydrated birds during exposure to ambient temperatures of 35 and 40 degrees C. 5. Respiration frequency increased during exposure to 35 (four birds) and 40 degrees C (six birds) in the normally hydrated quail, while in the dehydrated quail, respiration frequency increased only in three birds during exposure to 35 degrees C, and four birds during exposure to 40 degrees C, the frequencies were lower during dehydration. 6. Plasma osmolality and chloride concentration were significantly higher in the dehydrated quail (P < 0.05). 7. The present findings show that dehydration and heat exposure resulted in a relative hyperthermy, and thus implying a reduced evaporative cooling. The quail appears to be well adapted to dehydrating conditions. 35 NAL Call. No.: 47.8 AM33P Effect of dietary calcium stress on plasma vitamin D3 metabolites in the egg-laying Japanese quail.

Language: English Descriptors: Pheasants; Photoperiod; Animal welfare; Intermittent light; Growth rate; Feed conversion; Feathering rate Abstract: Two experiments were conducted to examine the effects of photoperiod and intermittent lighting on pheasant growth and feathering. Inexperiment I, 70 straight-run 4-week-old ring-necked pheasants were randomly assigned to 1 of 7 identical environmentally controlled rooms and raised until 8 weeks of ageunder the following light schedules: Room (1) 24L, (2) 16L: 8D, (3) (15 min L: 45 minD) X 16: 8D Purina Bio-mittent, (4) 1L: 11D: 4L: 8D, (5) 1L: 13D: 2L: 8D, (6)1L: 14D: 1L: 8D, (7) 1L: 14.5D: .5L: 8D. Daily patterns of feed consumptionindicated synchronization of activity such that the subjective daylengthsprovided were 24, 16, 16, 13, 11, 10, and 9.5 hours, respectively. The birds werehoused 10-per-cage at a density of .06 m2 per bird. Since all of the birds were fed ata common feeder, there was no statistical treatment comparison of feed consumptionand conversion. A numerical improvement in feed conversion (4.9, 4.5, 3.4, 3.3,3.2, 3.4, 3.3 g feed/g gain) and bodyweight (715.8, 762.9, 801.0, 797.4, 833.4, 830.7,841.5 g) and a statistically significant (P<.05) improvement in dorsalfeathering (38, 47, 99, 84, 91, 94, 96% area covered) and tail length (1.6, 1.6, 9.1, 4.4, 11.3,11.2, 10.9 cm) resulted from the use of intermittent, compared to continuous, photoperiods. In experiment II, 72 4-week-old straight-run jumbo whitepheasants were randomly assigned to 6 identical environmentally controlled rooms andraised until 14 weeks of age under the following light schedules: Room (1) 14L: 10D,(2) 1L: 5.5D: 1L: 5.5D: 1L: 10D, (3) 12L: 12D, (4) 1L: 4.5D: 1L: 4.5D: 1L: 12D, (5)10L: 14D, (6) 1L: 3.5D: 1L: 3.5D: 1L: 14D. Daily patterns of feed consumptionindicated synchronization of activity such that the subjective daylengthsprovided were 14, 14, 12, 12, 10, and 10 hours, respectively. The birds were housed4-per-cage at a density of .15 m2 per bird. There were no significant (P<.05) differencesin bodyweight (1164.2, 1189.4, 1181.4, 1195.5, 1212.1, 1229.7 g).

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Laying performance; Egg hatchability; Males; Mating systems; Male fertility Abstract: For a half-sib mating design each male was switched among four females that were kept in separate cages once a day, so that each female was paired with a male every 4th day. Control males were permanently paired with one female each. There was some evidence that the mating system involving switching of males among females decreased egg production and hatchability by about 9 and 16%, respectively. The present study argues, however, that the slight decrease in hatchability, which was only present in some males, does not prevent the application of this method for half-sib breeding designs to estimate heritabilities. 44 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Selection criteria; Strain differences; Blood plasma; Corticosterone; Stress; Immobilization; Fearfulness Abstract: Open-field behavior was examined in Japanese quail chicks genetically selected for either reduced (LS, low stress) or exaggerated (HS, high stress) plasma corticosterone response to immobilization stress. Chicks of the LS line showed less freezing and ambulated sooner than did their HS counterparts. These findings suggest that exposure to an open-field or novel environment elicited less fear in LS than in HS chicks. They also support the suggestion that fearfulness and adrenocortical activation are positively associated and indicate that selection for differential adrenocortical responsiveness exerted concomitant effects on fear-related behavior. 131 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Fearfulness; Blood plasma; Corticosterone; Stress response; Line differences; Selection criteria Abstract: Despite evidence for a positive association between adrenocortical activation and fearfulness, the effects of chronic (12 to 20 h) exposure to stressful stimulation on the fear reactions of Japanese quail genetically selected for high (HS) or low (LS) plasma corticosterone response to immobilization stress are not straightforward. The present study examined tonic immobility fear responses in quail of both lines that, immediately prior to testing, either had been allowed to remain undisturbed or had been exposed to an acute stressor similar to that used in the selection program (i.e., a short- latency stressor; 5 min of immobilization). Tonic immobility responses were generally more pronounced in quail of the HS line than the LS line, and they were exaggerated in both lines after exposure to stress treatment. The findings provide further support for the suggestion that selection for exaggerated or reduced adrenocortical responsiveness may have been accompanied by a concomitant and unconscious effect on underlying fearfulness. 135 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Japanese quails; Lh; Hormone secretion; Blood plasma; Cloaca; Breeding season; Molting; Photoperiod; Light; Dark; Environmental temperature Abstract: Mature male Japanese quail were transferred from 16L:8D (19 degrees) to one of the following combinations of daily light-dark and temperature cycles, 8L:16D (12 hr, 19 degrees:12 hr, 9 degrees), 12L:12D (12 hr, 19 degrees: 12 hr, 9 degrees) and 12L: 12D (16 hr, 19 degrees:8 hr, 9 degrees). The low temperature is for the middle of the dark period in each treatment. In the control groups, birds wore transferred to the same photoperiodic conditions as the experimental groups, but without changes in ambient temperature. Blood samples were collected every other day for 30 days and circulating levels of plasma LH were estimated by radioimmunoassay. Both the change in conditions from 16L:8D to 8L: 16D with the temperature lowered for 12 hr and that from 16L:8D to 12L: 12D with temperatures lowered in one case for 12 hr and in the other for 8 hr caused a lowering in plasma LH levels in all the birds to reproductively quiescent levels. The cloacal protrusion of all these birds regressed completely. In control groups, however, most if not all the birds remained in active breeding states although the levels of circulating LH decreased to basal breeding levels of 1-2 ng/ml. The results indicated that in addition to a change from long to short days an alternation of high and low temperatures was sufficient supplementary information in causing termination of LH secretion and inducing regression of the gonads and the accessory sex organs in this species. 145 NAL Call.
