Abstract

Feces from nomal adult female quails were investigated for microflora once a week for a period of 4 weeks, and the birds sacrificed at 4 weeks were examined for the intestinal microflora. The total numbers of facultatively anaerobic or anaerobic bacteria were 107.1 to 108.9/g feces, with the predominance of Streptococcus (including Enterococcus), Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, and Peptococcaceae. The numbers of each bacterial group fluctuated only within a small range (103-fold), except for Clostridium yeast and Bacteroidaceae. The total numbers of facultatively anaerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the intestine were 105.9 to 109.0/g, being smaller in the upper intestine. Streptococcus (including Enterococcus), Lactobacillus, and Peptococcaceae were the main bacteria found in the intestine. The numbers of microorganisms in the cecum and rectum were correlated to those in feces.
