The Effects of Hot Pepper Seeds Added to the Diet in Quails on the Morphology of the Oviduct and Ovary

The aim of this study is to reveal how red-hot pepper seeds added to the diet in quails change ovarian follicle dynamics and the morphological structure of the oviduct. For this reason, a total of 48 female Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) aged 14 weeks were used as a material. While red hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds were added to the diet of the animals in the experimental group at the rate of 2%, 4%, and 6%, it was not added to the control group. At the end of the study, while the number of white follicles showed a statistically significant increase in all groups compared to the control group (P
