(Powdered Soap) as Feed Additive on the Growth and Egg Production of Quails (Coturnix coturnix, Linn.). Adviser: Prof. Erafio C. Esguerra

This study was conducted at Indang, Cavite from July 16, 1990 to October 3, 1990 to determine the effects of detergent as feed additive on the growth and egg production of quails and to find out which level of detergent is suitable to be added in the ration.

The detergent was used as feed additive at the following rate: Ta - Control (Pure Commercial Feeds); Tz - 2 grams of detergent per 1 kg. of commercial feeds; Tx - 4 grams of detergent per 1 kg. of commercial feeds and Ts - 6 grams of detergent per i kg. of commercial feeds. The results revealed that the best level of detergent to be added in the ration was 2 grams of detergent per 1 kg. of commercial feeds. This treatment improved the Growth of the birds in terms of gain in weight, fee consumption, feed conversion efficiency, and egg production just like the treatment groups fed with 4 grams and 6 grams of detergent per 1 kg. of commercial feed, respectively. However, quails fed with 6 grams of detergent, performed best in terms of egg production. It was also found out that at increasing levels of detergent, there was a slight decrease in weight gain in weight, feed consumption and feed conversion efficiency. This additive has no effect on mortality. The poorest result, however, was obtained in control which were fed with pure commercial feeds.
