This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Giloy stem powder (Tinospora cordifolia) on the performance of Japanese quails. 480-day old Japanese quail chicks randomly distributed into six dietary treatments with four replicates per treatment and each replicate had twenty birds. The first group was kept as a control (T1) and given the control diet (CD) without antibiotic while second group (T2) was fed CD with antibiotic, third (T3), fourth (T4), fifth (T5) and sixth (T6) groups were fed CD supplemented with Giloy stem powder @ 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1% respectively. The results indicated that supplementation of Giloy stem powder @ 0.50% (T4) recorded significantly (P<0.05) highest body weight gain, feed intake and better feed conversion compared to control, antibiotic and other treatment groups. Among all the treatments, significantly highest dressing weight percentage, breast weight percentage, thigh weight percentage, lymphoid organ weight percentage recorded with giloy @ 0.50%. Significantly lower serum total cholesterol level (P<0.05) was observed in giloy @ 0.50%. However, there was no significant (P>0.05) difference was observed on the total protein concentration different dietary groups. Finally, it can be concluded that supplementation of 0.50% Giloy stem powder can effectively be used as an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter in Japanese quails.
