Because the meat and quail eggs are in great<br>demand by the community, their maintenance is almost evenly distributed throughout Indonesia.<br>Privileges of quails include fast production, do not require large capital, easy maintenance, and do<br>not require large tracts of land. The aimed of this experiment was to determine the effect of providing<br>dragon fruit skin-fermented (DFSF) with fungi <em>Neurospora crassa</em> as an alternative feed material to<br>the performance of quails. The research method are experiments using completely randomized design<br>(CRD), with 5 treatments and 4 replications. if there is a real or very real difference that will be followed<br>by Duncan’s distance test. The treatments given are: A = without giving DFSF, B = giving 4% DFSF,<br>C = giving 8% DFSF, D = giving 12% DFSF and E = giving 16% DFSF. The results showed that<br>differences in the level of DFSF in quail ration gave no significant effect on feed intake, body weight<br>gain and feed conversion of quail ration. It can be concluded that the administration of DFSF up to<br>the level of 16% in the ration can be used as alternative feed ingredients without affecting feed intake,<br>body weight gain and quail feed conversion.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Jurnal Pertanian Tropik}, author={Pane, Doharni and Pakpahan, Rahmaini}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={482-489} }
