Bone Morphometric Dataset of Japanese Quail Fed Organic Minerals and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Description

This database contains comprehensive experimental records related to tibial morphology and bone development in growing Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) subjected to different dietary nutritional strategies. The dataset includes detailed morphometric measurements of tibial structures, allowing the evaluation of skeletal growth, bone integrity, and potential nutritional effects on bone development. Variables comprise quantitative measurements such as tibia weight, length, width, diaphysis dimensions, and additional structural parameters associated with bone quality and morphophysiological development. The data were generated under controlled experimental conditions and are intended to support research in animal nutrition, poultry science, mineral supplementation, intestinal health, and skeletal physiology. In particular, the database may contribute to studies evaluating the effects of chelated trace minerals, probiotic supplementation, and functional feed additives on bone morphology and productive performance in avian models. This dataset represents a valuable resource for comparative analyses, meta-analytical approaches, and the development of evidence-based nutritional strategies aimed at improving animal health, welfare, and productive efficiency in poultry systems.

Steps to reproduce

The experimental procedures should begin with the appropriate organization and identification of all dietary treatments, experimental units, and sampled animals included in the study. Tibial samples from growing Japanese quail should be collected under standardized conditions following the completion of the feeding trial. Subsequently, tibias must be carefully cleaned to remove adhering tissues and prepared for morphometric evaluation. Bone measurements including tibia weight, length, width, and diaphysis parameters should then be obtained using calibrated laboratory instruments and recorded systematically in the database. All variables should be verified for consistency, completeness, and experimental accuracy before statistical analysis. Researchers may subsequently use the dataset to evaluate the effects of dietary interventions, mineral supplementation strategies, probiotic inclusion, or other nutritional factors associated with skeletal development and bone integrity. Finally, users can perform a critical comparison between their own experimental findings and the reference data provided in this database to strengthen analytical interpretation, validate observed trends, and support comparative or meta-analytical assessments in animal nutrition and poultry science research.
