Effect of Gender and Age on Blood Glucose in Japanese Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)

The aim of this study was to investigate the fasting blood glucose values, which are measured at specified time intervals, of Japanese quails (coturnix coturnix japonica) at different ages and genders. In the study, 20 Japanese quail chicks constituted the animal material. The chicks reaching the age of one week were divided into two groups as male (G1, n:10) and female (G2, n:10) according to gender by taking into account the color difference in their chest area. The groups were taken in separate cages and housed under the same care and feeding conditions. Blood glucose values were measured by blood glucose meter, probes and blood samples taken from the vena subcutenea ulnaris. Glucose measurements were performed on all animals in G1 and G2 at minutes 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 150 for 7 weeks with an interval of 7 days from week 1. The data obtained in the study were statistically analyzed. The difference in glucose measurement times was found to be statistically significant in all weeks except weeks 6 and 7 (p
