Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of some herbal bio extract as water additive in Japanese quail. The herbs were Rhinacanthus nasutus Kurz, Andrographis paniculata and Tinospora cordifolia and each fermented with molasses and water in ratio herb 5: molasses 1.5: water 5 kg. 80 day old of 60 Japanese layer quails were raised in completely randomized design comprising 4 groups with 4 replicates of 5 quails each. The birds received commercial diets with protein not less than 22 percent and received fresh water adlib in bird group 1 for control and accepted water supplemented with bio extract in ratio fresh water 10: 1 bio extract for Rhinacanthus nasutus Kurz, Andrographis paniculata and Tinospora cordifolia in bird group 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Feed intake, weight gain, egg count and egg weight were recorded for 21 day 3. The result showed that receiving herbal bio extract reduce feed intake in significant (P<0.05). The control bird had highest percentage of egg production. FCR and FDE of birds received Tinospora cordifolia bio extract was in the best score. The bird received Andrographis paniculata and Tinospora cordifolia bio extract had highest yolk egg weight in significant (P<0.05). the egg yolk colour (b) of The bird received Andrographis paniculata is the highest in insignificant (P<0.01).
