Abstract: The research aimed
to know the effect of a liquid additive red dragon fruit (Hylocereus

based on Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with the control treatment and
treatment liquid additives red dragon fruit twice a day, once a day and two
days one. Each treatment was 5 times repeated. The parameters measured were
feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion and feed efficiency. The results
showed that the treatment was not significant (P> 0.05) effects on feed
consumption, weight gain, feed conversion and feed efficiency in quail. The
average of T0, T1, T2 and T3 which feed consumption of 15.64; 15.85; 15.67 and
15.80 g/ head/day, weight gain of 118.70; 121.00; 124.20 and 126.90 g/head,
feed conversion of 4.62; 4.58; 4.43 and 4.38 and feed efficiency of 21.68;
21.98; 22.65 and 22.92%. The conclusion is the treatment of a liquid additive
red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) on quail resulted in feed consumption,
