Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera extract and Acid cheese whey on the growth and productivity of quails. A total of 300 quails distributed to 5 treatments with four replications using Complete Randomized Design (CRD). This was a four-month study starting from growing to laying period of quails. Treatment Levels were; T1= 0mL AVE and ACW, T2=15mL AVE, T3=25mL AVE, T4=15mL ACW, and T5=25mL ACW per gallon of water. Results revealed no significant differences on final weight, gain weight, feed consumption, and water consumption except on feed conversion ratio which is significantly different among treatments. Numerically, birds with AVE and ACW supplementation showed higher performance on the parameters studied. Results suggests that Aloe vera extract and Acid Cheese Whey can be used to increase growth and egg production performance in quails.
