The Effect of Kombucha Supplementation in The Ration on Quails Body Weight and Dressed Carcass Weight

Hundred quails were used in this experiment to study the effects of Kombucha supplementation in the ration on quails body weight and dressed carcass weight, were studied for five weeks. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six treatments of Kombucha tea (0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%), repeated four times. The ration treatments were: P-0 basal diet as control, P-1 basal diet + 10% kombucha; P-2 basal diet + 15% kombucha; P-3 basal diet + 20% kombucha; P-4 basal diet + 25% kombucha; and P-5 basal diet + 30% kombucha. Results indicated that the highest body weight (163.1 g) was get from the quails that fed basal diet + 25% kombucha (P-4) and the quails that fed only basal diet (P-0) has the lowest body weight (146.475 g). For dressed carcass, quails that fed basal diet + 30% kombucha (P-5) has the lowest carcass weight (116.85 g), and the highest carcass weight (141.125 g) are the quails that fed basal diet + 10% kombucha.
