Abstract
Quail chicks from a line selected for growth on a low protein (17.9%) glucose monohydrate-soybean meal diet showed a high incidence, 44.0%, of pendulous crop as compared to 11.8% in the control line fed the same ration. Substituting sucrose for glucose monohydrate did not change the incidence of pendulous crop in either the control or the selected line. However, birds from the selected line fed a corn oil-cellulose diet had the same lower incidence as the control group fed either corn oil or glucose monohydrate. Pendulous crop in quail is evidently the manifestation of a genotype-environment interaction.
