Abstract

This study aims to determine "The Effect of Addition of Red Ginger Flour in the Ration on the Performance of Male Quails aged 2-6 weeks". This research was conducted at the Experimental Field of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, HKBP Nommensen University in Simalingkar A Village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency. This research was conducted for 6 weeks from May to July, 2022. This study used 200 male quails. The research method used is an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications, namely P0 = 0% red ginger flour in the ration, P1 = 0.75% red ginger flour in the ration, P2 = 1.5% red ginger flour in the ration and P3 = 2.25% red ginger flour in the ration. The variables observed were ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion. The results of this study showed that the best results on ration consumption were obtained at the level of giving P2 = 1.5%, body weight gain at the level of giving P1 = 0.75% and ration conversion at the level of giving P1 = 0.75%. From this study it can be concluded that the provision of red ginger flour in quail rations had no significant effect on ration consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion.
