4 ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the reproductive performance, some physiological parameters, eggshell ultrastructure, egg weight loss% and hatching traits of Japanese quail females varying in eggshell color and pattern using image analysis. A total number of 225 five weeks-old Japanese quails ( ) were used. Females were classified into four groups according to their eggshell color and pattern, 1 st group [Light eggs (none or rarely of very small spots)], 2 nd group [dotted eggs (small and much spots)], 3 rd [spotted eggs (large and many spots)] and 4 th group [dark eggs (very large and few spots)]. A total of 2900 eggs were selected from the four groups of eggshell color and pattern to perform two consecutive hatches of eggs collected for 12 days consecutive each. Eggs of the first hatch were stored for 11 days at room temperature (ranged from C and relative humidity %) and the eggs of the second hatch were stored for 11 days in a refrigerated room (17 C and 70 % relative humidity). The results of the present study are as follows: Light eggshell color group had higher clutch number, pause number, pause length, values of red, green and blue of eggshell, hue, lightness, and egg weight loss % at different periods of storage and embryonic mortality % (mid and late) and worst eggshell ultrastructure. Light eggshell color group had lower clutch length, egg production%, egg mass from days, antibody titer against sheep red blood cells (SRBCs), saturation of eggshell, hatchability %, hatchability/fertile eggs % (H/F %), chick weight and chick weight % than other groups. The dark eggs group had the highest values of plasma triglycerides, hatchability% and H/F %, and it had the lowest values of clutch number, pause number, values of red, green, blue, hue and lightness, egg weight loss % at different periods of storage and early embryonic mortality %. Spotted and dark eggshell groups had the highest values of shell% and shell thickness. Hue of quail eggshell positively correlated with each of clutch number, pause number, pause length, shape index, egg weight loss % and embryonic mortality (mid and late) but it negatively correlated with each of clutch length, egg production, egg mass, Haugh unit, shell %, shell thickness, plasma cholesterol and calcium, hatchability % and H/F%. Saturation of eggshell color positively
5 correlated with clutch length, malondialdehyde, antibody titer against SRBCs and late embryonic mortality % and negatively with each of clutch number, pause number, pause length, Haugh unit, shell %, plasma globulin, total antioxidant, packed cell volume, hemoglobin and H/F %. Lightness of eggshell color correlated positively with each of clutch number, pause number, egg weight loss %, fertility % and early embryonic mortality but it negatively correlated with each of clutch length, yolk index, Haugh unit, shell%, malondialdehyde and H/F %. Egg weight loss% increased with increasing time and temperature of pre-incubation storage. Negative correlations were found between time of storage and each of hatchability %, fertility% and H/F%, however, it was positively with embryonic mortality. It can be concluded that, selection should be focus on females producing spotted and dark eggshell which had better reproductive performance, eggshell ultrastructure and hatchability% compared to females with light eggshell color using image analysis. Key Words: Quail, reproductive performance, eggshell color, image analysis, immunity, egg quality, eggshell ultrastructure, hatching traits.
6 ACKNOWLEDGMENT First and foremost, all the praises and limitless thanks are to God who give me the capability to do this study. I wish to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr. Hanan A. Hassan, Assistant Professor of Poultry Physiology, Department of Poultry Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University, Egypt, for her keen supervision, valuable advice, constructive criticism, continuous encouragement, providing facilities during this study and helping in measurement of physiological parameters, as well as image analysis and statistical analysis of the data. I would like to express my appreciation to Dr. G.A. Arram, Assistant Professor of Poultry Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Fayoum University, for his keen supervision and continuous encouragement during this work. Sincere appreciation and thanks are to Prof. Dr. Ahmed M. Radwan, Chief Researcher of Poultry Nutrition, Animal Production Research Institute, Ministry of Agriculture, for his keen supervision and providing facilities during this work.
