Electrophoretic analyses of body tissues from three strains of Japanese quail from the Quail Genetic Stock Centre at the University of British Columbia, two selected for heavy body weight and one randombred, were carried out to determine whether genetic variations in selected strains were different from randombred strains. In addition, the data were also compared with those obtained from domestic and wild...
