This study aims to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of red ginger extract (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) on total coliform of intestinal bacteria, digestibility, and performance of broiler quail. A total of 100 unsexed broiler quail were randomly assigned into five groups of treatment with four replications (5 quail each). Dietary treatments applied were P0 = basal feed + 0 mg/kg red ginger extract ; P1 = basal feed + 500 mg/kg red ginger extract; P2 = basal feed + 750 mg/kg red ginger extract; P3 = basal feed + 1000 mg/kg red ginger extract and P4 = basal feed + 4000 mg/kg tetracycline. Experimental feed were given to quail after 2 to 6 weeks old. Data were analyzed to test of variance and followed by Duncan test. The results reveal that the supplemented of red ginger extract in the feed had a significant effect (P<0.05) on total coliform bacteria in the quail intestine and nutrient digestibility, but did not have a significant effect (P>0.05) on growth performance. In conclusion, red ginger extract has a positive effect on total coliform of intestinal bacteria and nutrient digestibility but has no significant effect on growth performance broiler quail.
