  • In order to produce polyploid quail, the patterns of spermatogenesis and induction of diploid spermatozoa were analyzed by administration of spindle fiber inhibitor agent. Colcemid at the dose level of 37 $\mu\textrm{g}$ /100 g BW was Injected intraperitoneally to 50 Japanese quail males for 3 consecutive days. Five to 20 days after the first colcemid injection, the metaphase spreads from mitotic spermatogonia, primary spermatocyte and secondary spermatocyte were observed. By cytogenetic analysis, 9.4% of spermatogonia and spermatocyte cells in germ cells from the treated males was found to be polyploid cells. As compared with colcemld treated, the males with non-treated colcemid had only 2.3% polyploid cells in germ cells. The induction of diploid germ cells was highest in 10 days after the first colcemid injection and was lowest in 5 days after the first colcemid injection. These results suggested that between 10 to 15 days before maturation of the spermatozoa, the male germ cells were most sensitive to colcemid treatment. Spindle fiber inhibitor agent was also more sensitive to mitotic division of spermatogonia than meiotic division of primary and secondary spermatocyte.

  • Comosomal polymorphism involving constitutive heterochromatin has been reported in mu, pigs, mouse, horse, chicken and so on. The chromosomal polymorphism of Japanese quail which includes constitutive heterochromatin as well the chromosomes without banding treatment has now been found. Through the use of a general technique that permits visualization of chromosome morphology and heterochromatin, three chromosomal variants have been found among birds ; +/+ homozygous from, +/- heterozygous form and -/- homozygous form in chromosome 4. This variants appear to be common in the randombred population and stably inherited in a Mendelian fashion. These results suggest that the variants would be useful as chromosomal markers for various types of cytogenetic studies.

  • This surveies were carried out to investigate the residual levels of fluoroquinolones in chicken and quail eggs by bioassay and HPLC method. The eggs of 240 samples collected from market and farm in Gwangju Metropolitan city were examined from May to December in 2003. Residual antibiotic materials were detected from 47 samples of the 240 eggs by bioassay. Of the 240 eggs assayed, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, orbifloxacin and perfloxacin were not detected but enrofloxacin was detected from 5 samples in 228 chicken eggs and 1 sample in 12 quail eggs using HPLC with fluorescence detector by multi-residue method. 2 sample eggs in 6 sample which were detected by HPLC were not positive with bioassay. The average residual concentration of enrofloxacin was 0.494 mg/kg in 6 positive samples. The highest residual concentration of enrofloxacin was 1.83mg/kg.
