              Abstract
              
                
                The present 
                study was carried out for six weeks on 135 day old quail chicks 
                to study the effect of supplementation of probiotic and enzymes 
                on growth performance. The dietary treatments comprised of T1 – 
                control i.e. corn – soya based diet as control, whereas T2 and 
                T3 supplemented with probiotic and multienzyme respectively. The 
                body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency was 
                significantly (P<0.01) better in probiotic and enzyme fed 
                groups. Similarly dressing percentage was also significantly 
                (P<0.01) better in these groups as compared to control. It is 
                concluded that probiotic and enzyme can be successfully 
                incorporated in diet of Japanese quail as a growth promoter.
