Abstract
Quail are highly important poultry in regional agricultural poultry meat and egg production (Tikk et al., 2009, 2011). Linseed oil and linseed cake provide components to increase n3- polyunsaturated fatty acid (n3 PUFA) content in poultry products. As described in olive oil and conjugated linoleic acid example, the modification of feed fat composition may result in adverse effects in bird physiological status (Aydin et al. 2001; Karus et al., 2007). Insulinlike growth factors have been well studied and the effect of IGF-1 has been shown to play a significant role in chicken muscle development in all phases (Kocamis and Killefer 2003; Saprõkina et al., 2009). The aim of the study was to examine IGF-1 gene-expression and IGF-1 protein content in different feeding conditions in quail blood.
