Body weight and tissues weight in the control group and heat challenge group.
| Control | Heat | P-value | Sig. | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW/g | 145.1 ± 1.8 | 147.7 ± 4.4 | 0.2865 | N.S |
| Ovary/g | 2.98 ± 0.26 | 2.34 ± 0.106 | 0.0307 | 1 |
| Oviduct/g | 2.70 ± 0.09 | 2.32 ± 0.20 | 0.0395 | 1 |

| Spleen/g | 0.086 ± 0.010 | 0.079 ± 0.012 | 0.3265 | N.S |
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Number of quails in each group is 6.
N.S. means no significant difference (P > 0.05, T test).
1
Significantly different from the values at control (P < 0.05, T test).
