This study investigates the potential of enhancing quail performance during the critical Starter-Grower period through the incorporation of ginger and turmeric additives into a commercial diet. The research aims to assess the impact of these natural supplements on quail vitality, growth, and overall performance. Through systematic analysis, including physiological measurements and growth parameters, this study provides insights into the potential benefits of ginger and turmeric as dietary enhancers for quails during their early developmental stages. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of nutritional strategies for optimizing quail production.
