Abstract
The study aims to determine the effect of giving katuk leaf extract (Sauropus androgynous) in the ration on egg production per week. Sixty quails laying in the production phase were divided into 4 treatment groups: 1) T0: rations without treatment, 2) T1 : rations with katuk leaf extract treatment 3.5g / kg ration, 3) T2 : rations with probiotic treatment (Bacillus sp. And Saccharomycess sp.), 4) T3 : ration with katuk leaf extract treatment 3.5g / kg ration + probiotics (Bacillus sp. And Saccharomycess sp.). The results showed that the treatment had no significant effect on egg production in the first week (P> 0.05), but had a significant effect on second week and third week (P <0.05). Duncans test results showed that the treatment of katuk leaf extract had the best effect on egg production in the second and third weeks.
