DVM, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University,<br/>Indang, Cavite, April 2004. Adviser: Dr. Louella Maria A. Custodio, DVM<br/><br/>The efficacy of pulverized dried seeds of ripe papaya (( 'Carica papaya) as a biological<br/>dewormer for quails (Coturnix colurnix) was tested and compared against the commercial<br/>dewormer Levamisole@ WSP. The most effective dosage of 'arica papaya seeds ( I I .5g,<br/>2.0g, and 2.5g/bird) against roundworm (Ascaridia sp.), (( 'api//uria sp.) and tapeworms<br/>(Raillie(ina sp.) was also determined.<br/>The study was conducted in Barangay Banlic, Cabuyao, Laguna from January to<br/>February 2004. Laboratory tests were conducted at the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic<br/>Laboratory, Department of Agriculture at Barangay Maraouy, Lipa City.<br/>A total of 105 Japanese Taiwan quails were used. The birds were divided into five groups<br/>composed of five birds per group representing a control group 10% WSP) and<br/>four treatment groups.<br/>The fecalysis revealed that only the ova of Ascaridia galli were present in the birds.<br/>Statistical method used was simple CRD (Completely Randomized Design). The analysis of<br/>variance of the pre-treatment count of Ascaridia galli ova revealed insignificant among<br/>the means of the treatments 0, l, 2, 3, and 4. The t-Test showed that TO (Levamisole@<br/>WSP), "1'2 ( 1.5 g), (2.0 g), and T4 (2.5 g) alt showed significant results. "19his means that<br/>using these higher dosages of papaya seeds were effective in eliminating the parasitic ova.<br/>Only TI (1.0 g dosage) did not show significant results. Using the dosage at this level only<br/>reduced the number of parasitic ova but did not totally eliminate
