Abstract: GUILLO, JOSE M. EFFECTS OF ADLAY MASH SUPPLEMENTATION ON EGG PRODUCTION AND EGG QUALITY OF LAYING QUAIL (Coturnix japonica). Undergraduate thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. 2022. Adviser: Dr. Emmanuel R. Mago. This study determined the effects of Adlay supplementation on the production performance of quail and the quality of its eggs. Two hundred ten (210), twenty-five days old, quail chicks were randomly assigned into two groups, a control and treatment group, both groups were triplicated. Each group was given the same number of feeds, with the experimental group receiving a mix of commercial and adlay mash. The eggs were harvested on the 30th day and 60th day of supplementation of adlay. The eggs were sent to a laboratory for the analysis of their cholesterol content and 10 randomly collected eggs from each group were subjected for the measurement of egg parameters. The cost-effectiveness of adlay supplementation on quail production through income over feed and cost (IOFC) is economically unviable due to the high cost of adlay associated with the availability of farmers who propagate and produce adlay. Adlay supplementation had a different effect on the treatment group compared to the control group, based on the egg parameters. The treatment group had a lower production rate of 44.87% and 39.47% for the two-month duration of the study and produced smaller eggs. While having close albumin and protein contents the treatment group had a higher average yolk index. Based on the findings of the study, adlay supplementation increases the cholesterol level of the quail eggs through cholesterol analysis. A more in-depth study is recommended to determine the cholesterol levels in the blood of the quail. This is to test the possibility that another pathway in which adlay may reduce blood cholesterol by decreased absorption may result to a compensatory mechanism that may increase ovarian lipid synthesis that is deposited in the egg.
