Abstract

In the present investigation, forty-eight Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were maintained at the poultry farm of the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani, following standard quail management practices. Pancreatic samples were collected from twelve birds each at the end of the first, second, third, and fourth week ofage. The pancreas appeared whitish in color, elongated and ribbon-like in shape, situated on the right side of the abdominal cavity, and was composed of four distinct lobes dorsal, third, ventral, and splenic. With increasing age, a progressive rise in the weight, length, and width of the pancreas was observed in Japanese quails.
