INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF STRESS FACTOR ON HOMEOSTASIS AND FERTILITY OF FERTILE QUAILS

During the study, the influence of stress factors on the physiological state and productivity of quails was clarified and measures were taken to prevent such situations from occurring. For the first time, the research work was carried out on the "Texas albino" breed of quails created in the USA with a high live mass. Measures were taken to prevent the causes of diseases among quails and changes in homeostasis caused by temperature stress in spring and summer. Purpose. Taking into account the above, we aimed to investigate the causes of diseases and changes in homeostasis among quails as a result of temperature stress in spring and summer. Materials and methods. During the study, when the quails were kept in open-air 3-story cages under the shed, the air temperature, humidity, and air current speed, which affect the clinical-physiological condition of the quails, were determined 3 times a day. To control these indicators, a barothermohygrometer was used. Quails suspected of having the disease and less active in the cage were selected and it was clarified how leukocytes, which are indicators of homeostasis, change in the quail body. The effect of temperature stress caused by high temperature in June, July, August on homeostasis indicators was determined in quails, and measures were taken to reduce this abnormal effect. Results. “Betafin”, “Mikitov”, "Anti stress Forte Wsp" preparations were used to prevent changes in homeostasis when quails were kept during temperature stress.Those preparations were added to the water and feed taken by the quails 3-4 hours before the start of temperature stress. During the study, the morpho­biologicalindicators of the quails' blood and the quality indicators of the eggs obtained from quails were also determined, and it was determined that the applied preparations were effective during temperature stress. Conclusion. In order to prevent changes caused by temperature stress in homeostasis when quails are kept outdoors under a shed during the summer months, on the days when the air temperature rises, "Betafin", "Mikitov", "Anti stress Forte Wsp" should be added to the food and water they drink before 10:00 a.m. EDN: EKAAIX
