One of the purposes of the inclusion of antibiotics in the ration is to improve production efficiency. Betel leaves are medicinal herbs containing essential oil which can be used as natural antibiotics. This research aimed to examine the effect of giving betel leaf extract and betel leaf flour on quail egg production. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates was used. Treatments consisted of basal ration (P0), the inclusion of betel leaf meal (BLM) in ration by 1% (P1), the inclusion of dried betel leaf extract (DBLE) in ration by 0.5% (P2) and 1% (P3). The results showed that the inclusion of betel leaf extract and flour did not affect egg production, feed intake, and egg mass. But it improved the feed conversion ratio.
