过去 50 年来，日本鹌鹑 (Coturnix japonica) 一直是众多研究领域中流行的动物模型。鹌鹑 16 天的发育期及其易于获得的胚胎使鹌鹑成为发育生物学研究的便捷模型。由于其寿命相对较短且生理机能与人类相当，因此成年鹌鹑可用于衰老和疾病的研究。作者将日本鹌鹑描述为一种动物模型，并借鉴他们在加州理工学院饲养鹌鹑群体的经验，提出了该物种饲养的详细指南。
For the past 50 years, the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) has been a popular animal model in numerous fields of research. The quails 16-d developmental period and its easily accessible embryo make C. japonica a convenient model for studies of developmental biology. Because its lifespan is relatively short and its physiology is comparable to that of humans, the adult quail is useful for studies of aging and disease. The authors describe the Japanese quail as an animal model and, drawing on their experience raising a quail colony at the California Institute of Technology, present detailed guidelines for the husbandry of the species.
