Comparative morphometric investigations of intraorbital glands in Japanese quails - Coturnix coturnix japonica

The present investigation was performed on 80 intraorbital glands - 40 lacrimal and 40 Harderian obtained from 20 sexually mature clinically healthy Japanese quails - 10 males and 10 females of the Manchurian Golden and Pharaoh breeds. Prior to fixation, the weight and metric dimensions of glands we...

Zusammenfassung:	The present investigation was performed on 80 intraorbital glands - 40 lacrimal and 40 Harderian obtained from 20 sexually mature clinically healthy Japanese quails - 10 males and 10 females of the Manchurian Golden and Pharaoh breeds. Prior to fixation, the weight and metric dimensions of glands were determined. In both quail breeds studied, a clear sexual dimorphism with regard to live body weight was observed with female birds being heavier than males. The body weight of birds did not correlate with the weight of either gland. There was neither a correlation between the three morphometric parameters and quails sex and breed.
