| This study was conducted to examine the effects of using pumice as a beak abrasion object for quail of different plumage colours. Six hundred one-day old female and male chicks with an initial average live weight of 9.19 ± 0.21 were used as the experimental subjects. The chicks were first divided into two groups on the basis of plumage colour (300 light-coloured (L) chicks and 300 dark-coloured (D) chicks), and then each colour group was randomly divided into two sub-groups, one of which was kept in cages containing pumice (P+) and the other in cages without pumice (P-), for a total of 6 weeks.Results showed that, in terms of data on both sexes combined, pumice did not affect the live weight of quail. However, female quail in the LP+ and DP+ groups were found to have higher live weights compared to females in the LP- and DP- groups, and these differences were large and statistically significant (P<0.01 … |
