Abstract: BERNAL, RIEZIEL ANN D.; BUNAN, RACHELLE MARIE A. and GABITANAN, ZENDIE G. "Age Difference of Parents on Aspects of Reproduction in Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)" Applied Research m (General Science Curriculum) Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2003. Thesis Adviser : Dr. Raymond Martin F. Serrano , Technical Critic : Dr. Andrew T. Bunan A study entitled "Age Difference of Parents on Aspects of Reproduction in Quail" wasconducted at the University Animal Farm of Cavite State University from August to November 2002. It was conducted to determine the most productive age difference of parent quails, and specifically, to know if age difference of parent quails affects the rate of reproduction, hatching sex ratio and quail chick survival. The Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used, with thirty pairs of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnixjaponica) as test animals. There were three treatments, each replicated ten times. Couples of the same age were assigned as the control group (To). The first treatment (T l) had couples with the female three months and five days older than the male. The second treatment (T2) had couples with the male three months and five days older than the female. Findings revealed that the most productive age difference was that of the control group. It was proven that only egg production was significantly affected (P < 0.05) by the age difference. Of parent quails, with the control group having the greatest number of eggs produced. Other Parameters, like hatchability of the eggs, shell thickness, egg weight, egg shape index, bodyweight of the quail chicks at hatching and weekly up to three weeks (in grams), survival rate of the quail chicks, feed consumption of the quail chicks in three weeks, feed conversion efficiency of the quail chicks and hatching sex ratios, were not affected significantly (P > 0.05) by the age difference of parents.
