The effects of different iodine availabilities on thyroid function during development in Japanese quail

Day 14 embryos (16.5-17 day incubation period) and 1 day old chicks of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) were used to study the effects of different egg iodine (I) availabilities on thyroid function during development. Low (≤50 μgI/kg feed in the maternal diet) and high (1200 μgl/kg feed) I availab...
