McGraw	Dietary carotenoids mediate a trade-off between egg quantity and quality in Japanese quail	2006.0	10	.pdf	application/pdf	3791	449	66	Here, I experimentally investigated the effect of carotenoid intake on egg production and characteristics in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). considered both the eggs, laying capacity of females as well as an important measure of embryonic nutrition in eggs-yolk size. Treatment effects on yolk coloration, yolk size, and egg-laying capacity (less yellow) hue scores than those from the 30, 45, 60, 90, and 105 mg/kg carotenoid group and exhibited significantly less saturated colors than yolks from the 45, Carotenoid dose affected both female egg-laying propensity (r2 = 0.84, F7,15 = 6.1, P = 0.01) and yolk size (r2 = 0.73, F7,20 = 4.96, P = — Effect of dietary carotenoid supplementation on egg-yolk color in female Japanese quail. — Effect of dietary carotenoid supplementation on egg-laying capacity and yolk size in female Japanese quail. — Correlations between egg-laying capacity and both yolk color (hue and saturation) and 	./cache/work_i3vijnjgdjbx5c7kw5fhztivdq.pdf	./txt/work_i3vijnjgdjbx5c7kw5fhztivdq.txt
