The Mean

1. The rate of elimination of administered Nτ-[14CH3]methyl histidine was used to assess the validity of Nτ-methyl histidine excretion as an index of muscle protein breakdown in poultry.2. Broiler chicks (2–3 and 4–5 weeks old), laying hens, adult quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), adult cockerels and turkey poults (2–4 weeks old) were tested.3. All except the turkey poults showed quantitative recoveries of Nτ-[14CH3]methyl histidine within 1 week.4. Turkeys showed a different pattern of Nτ-[14CH3]methyl histidine output; the mean total recovery after 14 d was less than 50% of the injected dose. The majority of the label remaining after this time was found in breast muscle.5. All birds tested excreted Nτ-methyl histidine unchanged, although a small amount sometimes appeared as another metabolite.6. No significant oxidation of Nτ-[14CH3]methyl histidine by broiler chicks, turkey poults or adult quail was found.7. The results show that excretion of Nτ-methyl histidine is a useful measure of muscle protein breakdown in the domestic fowl and quail but not in turkeys.

The Impact

The study aims to determine the impact of dietary crude protein levels on the hematological parameters of Japanese quail from growth to ovipositor. To this end, five feeds with different crude protein levels (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26%) were supplied to 700 quails of three weeks of age. These were subdivided into six batches, including three batches of females and three batches of males for each feed group. After subjecting the quails to diets containing the different protein levels, four samples were taken at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh week of age. The samples taken were analyzed using an SYSMEX XN 350 automated hematological analyzer. The results of this investigation indicated that non-significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed in hematological parameters in both female and male quails. This study showed that dietary crude protein levels had no impact on the health status of Japanese quails. Keywords: Japanese quails, Crude protein, Hematological parameters.

Type V

Livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) is a zoonotic pathogen that has been reported in several animals, and it is often associated with clonal complex (CC) 398. We aimed to isolate MRSA from quails and to characterize their antimicrobial resistance and genetic lineages. One hundred swab samples were recovered from quails at the slaughterhouse. The swabs were inoculated onto CHROMagar™ MRSA agar plates for MRSA isolation. The presence of antimicrobial-resistant genes and virulence factors was investigated by PCR. All strains were typed by MLST, SCCmec-, spa- and agr-typing. From the 100 samples, 29 MRSA were isolated. All strains were resistant to penicillin, cefoxitin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and clindamycin and carried the blaZ, mecA, ermB and ermC genes. All strains, except one, showed resistance to tetracycline and harbored the tetM, tetK and tetL genes in different combinations. Twenty strains belonged to ST398 and SCCmec type V, and nine strains belonged to the new ST6831. Twenty-eight out of twenty-nine strains were ascribed to t011 and one to t108. As far as we know, this is the first report of MRSA from quails slaughtered for human consumption. Most strains belonged to ST398-t011, which is the most common LA-MRSA clone found in livestock in Europe.
