Abstract

This work was done to determine the effect of different colors of feeders on ingestive behavior, welfare and some blood parameters of quails. A total of 210 quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica), one day old, which rearing with us till the age of 7 days then it randomly distributed into five treatments 42 quails in each (14 birds x 3 replicates) as control or commercial type (white), red, blue, yellow and green feeders. The results showed that, blue, green and yellow feeders colors groups cause an increase in overall ingestive behavior (feeding and drinking), good welfare parameter (lower tonic immobility duration, tonic immobility induction) and less cortisol level while, red feeder group had a longer tonic immobility duration more tonic immobility induction numbers and more cortisol level (bad welfare parameters). So, we concluded that using different feeders color (blue, green yellow) may be enhanced ingestive behavior without negatively effect on blood parameters or quails welfare.
