Abstract
    Determination of the hematological profile quail is a necessity because this species is characterized by an intense metabolism. Any nutritional imbalance is reflected on metabolism influencing their health and production.
    Research has shown that the hemoleucogram is different depending on age and gender. Thus, the red grouts had an increase of 0.77x10⁶ mm³ in quail chicks of one day, reaching 21 days at 1.72 x 10⁶ mm³. In adults, the variation limits were between 4.22 x 10⁶ mm³ in males and 3.31 x 10⁶ mm³ in females.
    The same evolution occurred in white blood cells, which were 1 day of 10.2 thousand mm³, reaching 21 days at 16.3 thousand mm³. In adults, they were between 24.5 thousand mm³ in males and 26 thousand mm³ in females.
    Changes related to age and sex also recorded the amount of hemoglobin and hematocrit. Leukocyte values, excluding eosinophils, were 0.8% for the two sexes. Lymphocytes, 26% in males and 25% in females, and neutrophils were 70.8% in males and 70.5% in females.
    Hematological research has shown that quail blood has a high oxygenation capacity and remarkable lymphocyte character.
