Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Coturnix (Japanese Quail) as Pilot Animal for Poultry
TL;DR: Japanese quail is used as a pilot animal for the more expensive experiments on chickens or turkeys in poultry research because certain types of study are not possible with insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraocular Modification of Photoreception in Intact and Pinealectomized Coturnix
T. D. Siopes,Wilbor O. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: The data indicated an extraocular modification of the photo-induced gonadal activity but did not implicate the pineal as a functional mediator of these responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cloacal Gland—an External Indicator of Testicular Development in Coturnix
T. D. Siopes,Wilbor O. Wilson +1 more
TL;DR: The physical measurement of the cloacal gland provides a valuable noninvasive method of predicting testicular activity especially suited for long term experiments involving multiple measurements where a few coturnix may be used repeatedly (as their own control) rather than periodic killing of a large group of animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Wave Length of Light on Growth and Reproduction in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different wave lengths of visible light, of known filtering characteristics, on growth and reproduction in the Japanese quail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Effects of Increasing Environmental Temperatures on Pullets
TL;DR: Normal body temperatures in eight species of passeriform birds were found to vary as much as 10°F.
