Abstract: GATDULA, MISCHELLE ILAGAN. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2005. The Use of Nutritive Feed Additive (Livamol P-Px) on Quail Egg Production. Adviser: Saldovar A. Matienzo, DVM. The study determined the use of the nutritive feed additive (Livamol P-Pe) in quail egg production in terms of the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), Hen-housed egg production, egg quality: egg weight, egg shape index, egg yolk percentage, egg shell thickness, and cost benefit in quail layer ration. One hundred eighty laying sixty day-old quails were used in the study. The animals were randomly selected and divided into two groups, each with three replicates: the control group (Treatment 0) composed of quails fed with plain commercial laying mash and the treatment group (Treatment 1), those fed with rations containing nutritive feed additive (Livamol P-Px 1). The results obtained from the study showed a significant improvement in feed conversion ratio (FCR) observed in the treatment group (0.45 kg) compared to the control group (FCR=0.48 kg). An improvement in egg production was also observed among quails fed with rations containing Livamol P-Px® (86.82 %) compared to those fed with plain commercial ration (80.48 %) and the difference of 6.34% was noted to be significant. However, supplementation of the nutritive feed additive had no significant effects on egg quality in terms of egg weight, egg shape index, eggyolk percentage and egg shell thickness. It was observed in the study that no profit was earned from both treatments since the total sales were not enough to cover the total expenses of both treatments since the production was in its initial stage. Furthermore, an additional cost of PhP 0.00794 to produce one egg was attributed to the supplementation of Livamol P-Px® in commercial laying ration. However, quails fed with plain commercial mash (Php 877.00) lost more than those supplemented with Livamol P-Px® (PhP 752.00) by PhP 125.00.
