An experiment was conducted to study the effect of large-dose beta-carotene concentrations and progesterone secretion of the granulosa cells in Japanese quail. Laying quails were assigned to three dietary groups.The control group (group C) received the basal diet (laying feed containing vitamin A 9000 IU/kg). In the treated groups (groups BC1 and BC2) the basal diet was supplemented with beta-carotene 102 and 103 mg/kg (BC), respectively.
