Effects of age on organ weight and carcass characteristics of Japanese quail (Coturnix Japonica)
TL;DR: It was generally observed with different relative significance that organs and meat/carcass of the Japanese quail were correlated with age increase; it could be of advantage to both the producer and the consumer of the birds to slaughter the birds at appropriate ages since there are relative organ/Carcass developments to corresponding ages and/or interest.

Nasrollah Vali,Abbas Doosti +1 more
TL;DR: Results of this study show that CHD gene amplification is a convenient, inexpensive, safe, and simple technique for sex typing of Japanese quails and other avian species in the wild.

Analysis of growth characteristics in short-term divergently selected Japanese quail lines and their cross
TL;DR: The logistic model described the growth pattern of Japanese quail and their crosses better than other models and was compared with 3 mathematical models (Gompertz, logistic, and Richard).

Mass Selection for 45-Day Body Weight in Japanese Quail: Selection Response, Carcass Composition, Cooking Properties, and Sensory Characteristics
TL;DR: Both the initial genetic differences between the experimental lines and the differential correlated responses to selection for body weight may have caused the line differences observed in the carcasses and in the composition of the meat.

Genetic Parameters of Body and Some Carcass Traits in Two Quail Strains
TL;DR: Genetic correlation among body weights at 35, 42, 49, 63 days of age and among carcass traits (carcass weight, breast weight and thigh weight) were all positive and high, while genetic correlation for breast percent, and carcass percent were low.

Carcass composition, feed intake, and feed efficiency following long-term selection for four-week body weight in Japanese quail.
TL;DR: Body weights and carcass composition determinations revealed significant (P < .05) age and line effects; percentage water and total lipid demonstrated contrasting responses to increasing age; Percentage water declined whereas percentage total lipid increased.
