Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of various types of drinking water on growing
performance of quail. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5
replications. Each replication consisted of 3 quails. The treatments were P1 (groundwater), P2 (Water produce
by the regional drinking water company), P3 (Local commercial drinking water), and P4 (Branded commercial
drinking water). The observed variables were water intake, feed intake, body weight gain, final body weight and
feed convertion ratio of quails. Data were analyzed with analysis of variance. The study showed various type of
drinking water did not significantly affect on growing performance of quails on 21-56 age in all variables
(P>0.05). It was concluded that the different types of drinking water did not have potential to affect on growing
performance of quails.
Key words :growing performance, various types of drinking water, quail
