TL;DR: Bobwhite quail growing on a 14-hr photophase and Coturnix quail grown on 8, 10, 14, and 24-hour photophases to analyze the effects of lighting regimen and feed and water withdrawal on carcass weights and processing yields had heavier carcasses and greater yields.

TL;DR: The transbuccal approach of Hill and Parkes (1934) has proven to be a rapid and reliable method for hypophysectomy in Japanese quail and beginning operators report a variety of unexpected problems, including difficulty in restraining Coturnix for anesthesia and in making the necessary modifications.

TL;DR: The posterior lingual gland was observed to be the major contributor to the secretion of salivary mucins containing sialoglycoconjugates with terminal sialic acid residues linked to beta-galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine or alpha-N -acetylGalactosamines often located in distinct secretory elements.
Abstract: A confocal analysis was performed on the quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) lingual salivary glands where the carbohydrate chains were studied by lectin histochemistry. For this purpose, appropriate FITC- and TRITC-conjugates were used for double binding also accomplished with sialidase digestion. The glycosidic components of the quail lingual salivary glands were found to be heterogeneously distributed on the different secretory structures as well as on the single secretory elements of each adenomere. The rostral portion of the anterior lingual gland was found to only secrete neutral glycocomponents, characterized by terminal beta-galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and fucose residues in contrast to the caudal portion that was shown to be extremely heterogeneous and to produce sialylated glycoconjugates characterized by the terminal sequences sialic acid-beta-galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine, sialic acid-beta-galactose-N-acetylglucosamine, and sialic acid-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine partly codistributed within secretory adenomeres. The posterior lingual gland was observed to be the major contributor to the secretion of salivary mucins containing sialoglycoconjugates with terminal sialic acid residues linked to beta-galactose-N-acetylgalactosamine or alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine often located in distinct secretory elements.
