The present study was conducted to morphometrically and histometrically analyse the impact of different amounts of peppermint oil added to quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) rations on their glandula uropygialis. A total of 40 Japanese quails were used in the study. They were divided into four groups including 10 quails (5 males, 5 females) in each group. The groups were fed rations that included different concentrations (control, %0.1, %0.2, %0.3) of peppermint oil for six weeks. At the end of the study, morphometric measurements of the decapitated animals were taken from their glandula uropygialis. As a next step, the glands were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin in order to perform their histometric measurements after the routine tissue follow-up. Taking into account the morphometric and histometric parameters, it was found out that the addition of different amounts of peppermint oil to the ration affected papilla length (P<0.01), left lobe length and width (P<0.05) of quail glandula uropygialis. However, there was no statistically significant difference between other parameters and gender (P>0.05). As a result, it was concluded that adding different amounts of peppermint oil to the rations did not have a significant impact on quail glandula uropygialis.
