Abstract: Laying Performance of Japanese Quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica Temm. and Schle.) with Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Feed Supplementation. Undergraduate thesis, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Major in Animal Science. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. June 2018. Adviser: Henry I. Rivero, MSc. The study on the laying performance of Japanese quail, C. cotumix japonica with inclusion of different levels of fresh Basil leaves (BLS) in commercial ration was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effects on the laying performance of Japanese quail. Specifically, this study: ( 1 ) identified the level of fresh basil leaves as inclusion to the commercial ration with the most effect on the laying performance of Japanese quails; (2) assessed the body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio of quails fed varying levels of BLS; and; (3) compared the egg production of Japanese quails with or without the Basil leaves in the diet; and (4) evaluated the external and internal egg quality of the Japanese quails after feeding with fresh Basil leaves. One hundred twenty quail pullets were used in the study, the supplementation of basil (Ocimum hasilicum) started after the birds reached laying efficiency of 85%. The birds were randomly distributed into four treatments replicated three times with ten birds per replicate. The following treatments were used: TO — pure commercial feeds; TI — 5g BLS/kg of commercial feed; T2 — lOg BLS/kg of commercial feed; and T3 — 15g BLS/kg of commercial feed. All numerical data gathered were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed no significant differences on egg production, body weight gain, feed consumption, and on the FCR of the Japanese quail layers. However, the values of egg production in Ti (5g BLS) and T2 (10g BLS) were slightly higher than TO (0 % control) and T3 (15g BLS). The overall egg quality analysis from all the groups also showed no significant differences (P>0.05) except on egg weight which was highly significant (P<0.01). However, in the weekly basis, significantly different (P<0.05) results were obtained for egg shell thickness, yolk weight, and yolk color, on the first. Second. Fifth and sixth week. There were no mortalities recorded during the entire experimental period that may indicate low toxicity of the Basil leaves to the birds.
