The experiment was done to evaluate the general performance of laying quails as influenced by intermittent feeding. The experimental treatments included once a day, twice a day, thrice a day, and ad libitum feeding. The results revealed that quails in the ad libitum treatment had significantly (0.05) the highest feed consumption (2.21kg), laid the most eggs (105), had the highest average laying percentage (97.21%), the most productive (laying 0.97 egg per day per hen) and had the highest net profit of Php. 162.98. On the other hand, birds fed only once a day had significantly the lowest feed consumption (0.680kg), laid the least eggs (0), had lowest average laying percentage (7.23%), were the least productive (did not produce any eggs in the 2nd to 5th week) and had a net loss of Php. 130.32.
