W. Wei1, T. L. Hsieh1, S. K. Chang2, W. Z. Chiu1, Y. C. Huang1 and M. F. Lin1 1Department of Animal Science and Technology, National Taiwan University, No. 50, Lane 155, Section 3 Keelung Road, Taipei 106, Taiwan; 2School of Veterinary Medicine, National Taiwan University, No. 1, Sector 4 Roosevelt Road, Taipei 106, Taiwan (Received 11 August 2010; Accepted 15 March 2011; First published online 26 April 2011) Two experiments were conducted to investigate the requirement for dietary crude protein (CP) in growing blue-breasted quail (BBQ). In Experiment 1, 300 1-day-old quails were randomly assigned to 10 groups according to a 2 3 5 factorial arrangement of treatments with two metabolisable energy (ME) levels (12.13 and 13.39 MJ/kg) and five CP concentrations (160, 190, 220, 250 and 280 g/kg) for 8 weeks. In Experiment 2, 300 1-day-old quails were subjected to a different factorial arrangement of treatments with two ME levels (11.51 and 12.13 MJ/kg) and five CP concentrations (210, 220, 230, 240 and 250 g/kg) for 28 days. Experiment 1 revealed that an interaction existed in weight gain between ME and CP levels in weeks 1 to 4. In both ME groups, quails receiving CP of 160 g/kg showed the least weight gains (P , 0.05). No differences (P . 0.05) existed in weight gain between the ME groups in which quails ingested CP of 250 and 280 g/kg, whereas quails consuming CP of 220 g/kg with an ME of 13.39 MJ/kg had smaller weight gain than did those ingesting higher CP concentrations (P , 0.05). Of main effects for weeks 1–4, quails treated with an ME of 12.13 MJ/kg consumed more feed than did those receiving another ME level, whereas quails in both ME treatments showed similar feed efficiencies. For weeks 5 to 8, no difference (P . 0.05) in weight gain, feed intake and feed efficiency was seen regardless of ME levels, and no interaction existed between ME and CP levels. In Experiment 2, the best weight gain and feed efficiency were achieved when the dietary CP concentration was more than 210 g/kg, and quails treated with 11.51 MJ/kg showed better weight gain and feed efficiency (P , 0.05) than did those that received 12.13 MJ/kg. Furthermore, the weight gains and protein intakes on the basis of per MJ from the two experiments were pooled together to estimate the protein intake necessary for the best growth performance by two mathematic models; they were then converted to dietary CP concentrations of 204 (minimum) and 233 g/kg (maximum) when ME was 11.51 MJ/kg. In conclusion, BBQ will achieve good growth performance with dietary CP of more than 204 g/kg on the basis of an ME of 11.51 MJ/kg in weeks 1 to 4.

Galliform Baraminology 4 Abstract This study investigates the number of galliform bird holobaramins. Criteria used to determine the members of any given holobaramin included a biblical word analysis, statistical baraminology, and hybridization. The biblical search yielded limited biosystematic information; however, since it is a necessary and useful part of baraminology research it is both included and discussed.

All Polyplectron species have lateral displays, but species with ocelli also display frontally to females, with feathers held erect and spread to clearly display the ocelli. The two least ornamented Polyplectron species, one of which completely lacks ocelli, have been considered the primitive members of the genus, implying that ocelli are derived. We examined this hypothesis phylogenetically using complete mitochondrial cytochrome b and control region sequences, as well as sequences from intron G in the nuclear ovomucoid gene, and found that the two least ornamented species are in fact the most recently evolved. Thus, the absence and reduction of ocelli and other ornamental traits in Polyplectronare recent losses.

Kleberg, Jr. Center for Quail Research International Aridlands Consortium Edited by: Fidel Hernandez and Diana Doan-Crider Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute PREFACE It had been several years since the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute had organized a Texas Quail Short Course. The first Texas Quail Short Course was held in 1994 at Texas A&M- Kingsville. These symposiums were designed with a purpose of educating landowners, land managers, hunters, and quail enthusiasts about quail management using science based information. The last Texas Quail Short Course was held in 1996. So during 2003 we began planning for the third of these short courses. We felt the time was ripe for a Texas Quail Short Course given that much knowledge had been gained since 1996 and bobwhites had garnered much interest from the community. We developed this Short Course with the lay public in mind. It was our intent to deliver a Short Course and Proceedings booklet in a format that was understandable by the general public and yet still maintaining a scientific basis.

Social Behavior and Vocalizations 0NE of the most complex and fascinating aspects of grouse and quail biology is their social behavior, particularly that related to reproduction. Natural selection in the quail group has seemingly favored the retention of a monogamous mating system with the associated advan- tages of maintaining the pair bond through the breeding season. This system allows the male to participate in the protection of the nest, possibly participate in incubation, and later care for the brood. It also provides the possibility, if not the frequent actuality, that the male might undertake the entire incubation or rearing of the first brood, while the female is freed to lay a second clutch and rear a second brood in a single breeding season. In addition, within the quails may be seen a breakdown of typical avian territorial behavior patterns, probably resulting from the greater survival value of ecological adaptations favoring sociality in these birds.
