The research work was carried out for a total period of 4 weeks to study the effect of dietary supplementation of fermented fish silage on the meat quality of broiler Japanese quails. 192, seven-day old broiler Japanese quail chicks of either sex were randomly distributed into four dietary treatment groups with four replicates in each group with 12 chicks in each pen. The dietary treatments were T1 control diet, T2 diet containing 5 per cent fermented fish silage, T3 diet containing 10 per cent fermented fish silage and T4 diet containing 15 per cent fermented fish silage. The chemical composition like moisture, crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) content of the broiler quail meat taken from the breast region of birds did not vary significantly among the dietary treatments; however, there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the total ash content. The total ash content in the meat samples of the birds fed diet containing 15 per cent fermented fish silage (FFS) was significantly higher (1.94±0.06%) compared to all other dietary treatments. The inclusion of FFS had no adverse effect on meat composition (CP and EE). Further, FFS inclusion in the diet had a beneficial effect on meat ash content.Keywords

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of age and sex on moisture level of litter material in Vanaraja chicken for nine weeks. One hundred fifty Vanaraja chicks (75 male+75 female) were used for experiment. Litter moisture levels were measure at an interval of 3 weeks. Litter from male group had a significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture per cent than that of other two groups. Similar trend was also observed at 42 days of age. Moisture level between all three groups varied significantly (p<0.05). But at 63 days of age continued trend changes and litter materials from female group had a significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture per cent than that of other two groups. Litter moisture per cent is a good indicator of antibacterial property of litter materials so it should be monitored regularly and should be changed at a regular interval.Keywords

A study was conduct to estimate the effect of level of Jersey inheritance on the length of dry period in cross bred cattle. The data on dry period of Jersey (J) and Red Sindhi (RS) cows maintained at dairy farm, Sundersan School of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences Allahabad (Deemed-to-be-University) were recorded form the history sheets of the animals maintained during this period (1930-1962) for the basis of this study. The data on dry period (DP) were recorded from history' sheets of 103 Jersey Sindhi crosses. Jersey Sindhi crosses were divided into 4 genetic-groups consisting of 17, 11, 51 and 24 animals in G1 (1/2J x 1/2RS), G2 (3/8 J x 5/8 RS), G3 (1/4 J x 3/4RS), G4 (1/8J x 7/8 RS). The effect of Jersey inheritance on dry period was recorded.The dry period of Jersey crosses pertaining to G1, G2 and G3 and G4 ranged from 50-81, 53-97 and 50-119 and 51-117 days, respectively. The mean dry period of Jersey crosses of genetic group G1, G2, G3 and G4 were 64.76, 68.81, 73.54 and 78.83 days, respectively. Genetic group of Jersey crosses had non-significant effect on the dry period of cows. Over the past few decades the investigations on determining the productive performance of cows have been in progress and considerable quantum of work has accumulated on this subject. This productive performance of cows is said to be influenced by number of environmental factor. If the any dairy animal having longer postpartum service period would have longer dry periods. New nutritional techniques, modern managemental and reproductive practices helps in shorten length of postpartum and it ultimately helps in decreasing the length of dry period.Keywords

In males, the intelligent birds had significantly higher level of serum leptin than the dull birds (0.62 ±0.06 vs. 0.42b±0.08ng/ml). Similar trend was also visible in female birds (1.03±0.13 vs. 0.78b±0.12 ng/ml). Leptin acts to facilitate long-term potentiation in the hippocampus, a process important for memory processing, which was evident from the present study. Hence, this may be a reliable indicator of cognition. Females had a higher level of leptin concentration in serum than males, but that did not necessarily reflect their performance in terms of cognitive and conditioning abilities. This might be due to higher adiposity in females than males.Keywords

Photoperiod is the most common environmental factor monitored by animals to alter long-term physiological processes, particularly reproduction and production through its effect on physical activity, hormonal regulation, behaviour etc. Lighting of animal premises is essential elements of animal (Mitev, 2012). Solar radiation directly or indirectly exerts a profound effect on the behavior of animals. In the form of visible radiation (light), the photoperiod governs diurnal and seasonal activity patterns of the animal. Photoperiod is important for the improvement of production efficiency and profitability (Dahl, 2005).Keywords

The objective of this study was to evaluate the carcass characteristics of male and female Japanese quails at 6 weeks of age. A total of 100 one-day old Japanese quail chicks were procured and placed in two separate pens each containing 50 chicks. Sex determination was carried out in day-old chicks by cloacal method. All the birds were provided with a balanced diet containing 2900 kcal of ME/kg of ration and 24 per cent CP with ad lib provision of water during the entire experimental period. At the end of the experiment, five birds from each group were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and different parameters like eviscerated yield, neck yield, wing yield, back yield, breast yield, giblet yield, thigh yield and drumstick yield were studied. A significantly higher (P<0.05) percentage of eviscerated yield, giblet yield and breast yield was observed in case of the female Japanese quails as compared to males; however, no significant difference was noticed in terms of neck yield, wings yield, back yield, thigh yield and drumsticks yield among both male and female Japanese quails.Keywords
