Kluai Hin banana peel meal (KHBPM) contained 94.50 percent dry matter, 5.61 percent crude protein, 6.66 percent crude fat, 8.52 percent crude fiber, 9.9 percent ash, 63.81 percent NFE, 0.31 percent Ca, 0.19 percent P and 1.15 percent tannin on dry basis and 4,342 Kcal/Kg (G.E.). It was incorporated into 8 Japanese quail diets at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 percent. Five hundred and twelve head of 1 day old birds were randomly allotted to 8 treatments, each with 4 replicates, fed with the above mentioned diets until 6 weeks of age. The results showed no significant (p0.05) difference among treatments in terms of weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion or and feed cost when KHBPM was included up to 15 percent of the diet. However, at the higher levels, it tended to lower growth performance but increased feed intake thus causing inferior feed conversion ratio. Feed cost was also increased with the increasing levels of KHBPM in the diet. No significant difference in mortality rate was found among groups. The average mortality was 7.49 percent.
