Quail is one of the poultry species with many advantages. It has a fast growth rate and
high reproductive capability. Quail meat contains a high level of protein, approximately 21.1%.
Dragon fruit peel is rich in polyphenols, which act as antioxidants and antibacterial agents. This
studys aim to investigate the effects of fermented dragon fruit peel extract administered through
drink water on carcass and non-carcass production in quails. The research was conducte over a
period of two month at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Denpasar, Bali. A Complete
Randomized Design (CRD) was used, consist of four treatment and five replications. The
treatment included: drink water without dragon fruit peel extract (P0), drink water with 1% (P1),
2% (P2), and 3% (P3) fermented dragon fruit peel extract. The observed variable included
slaughter weight, carcass weights, carcass percentace, and the percentace of internal anda external
offal. The result show that the addition of 1%, 2%, and 3% dragon fruit peel extract is nothing
significant effects (P>0.05) on carcass weight, slaughter weight, carcass percentages, and the
percentage of external and internal offal in quails. It is capable to conclude that the
administrations of 1%–3% fermented dragon fruit peel extract in drink water does not affects
slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcas percentace, or the percentace of internal and external
offal in 8-week-old quails.

Burung puyuh tergolong unggas dimana mempunyai banyak keunggulan. Burung puyuh
mempunyai pertumbuhan dan reproduksi yang cepat. Daging burung puyuh mengandung kadar
protein yang tinggi yakni 21,1%. Kulit pada buah naga banyak memuat polifenol sebagai
pelindung sel beserta antibakteri. Penelitian memiliki tujuan yakni guna memahami efek
diberikannya ekstrak kulit buah naga difermentasi melalui air minum atas produksi karkas serta
non karkas unggas ini. Penelitian dilakukan selama 2 bulan dan bertempat di Fakultas Peternakan,

pengulangan adalah rancangan kajian peneliti. Empat perlakuannya melingkupi: air minum tidak
disertai ekstrak kulit buah naga (P0), air minum disertai 1% ekstrak kulit buah naga (P1), 2%
(P2), 3% (P3). Variabel pengamatan meliputi berat karkas, berat potong, persentase karkas,
persentase offal eksternal dan internal. Hasil pemberian ekstrak kulit buah naga menerangkan
yakni 1%, 2%, serta 3% tidak mempengaruhi secara nyata (P>0,05) atas berat potong, berat
karkas, persentase karkas, persentase offal eksternal pun internal puyuh. Simpulan penelitian ini
yakni dalam memberikan ekstrak kulit buah naga sejumlah 1%-3% di air minum tidak
mempengaruhi berat karkas, berat potong, persentase karkas, serta persentase offal eksternal dan
