Abstrakt: This study was conducted in the poultry field belonging to the Department of Animal Production, College of Agriculture, University of Tikrit for the period from (29/8/2016 to 31/10/2016). The study aimed to investigate the effect of adding different levels of Ganoderma Lucidum powder in the production and physiological performance of the Japanese quail bird. It was used 160 birds from Japanese quail bird in the experiment (40 males and 120 females), with 16 weeks age. The experiment consisted of four treatments, each treatment contains 10 replicates and in each replicate is four birds (one male and three females). The birds were distributed randomly to the treatments, treatments were as follows: First treatment T1: a diet without adding the Ganoderma fungus powder (control). T2: a diet adding to it the Ganoderma fungus powder with the ratio of (0.5: 1000 g feed). T3: a diet adding to it the Ganoderma fungus powder with the ratio of (1: 1000 g feed). T4: a diet adding to it the Ganoderma fungus powder with the ratio of (1.5: 1000 g feed). The results showed that the addition of red Ganoderma fungus led to a decrease in the level of feed consumption for the second and third treatment compared to the control group. There was also a significant improvement in the feed conversion coefficient for the added treatments compared to the control group. A significant increase was also occurred in egg production and egg mass for the third treatment (1g/kg feed) compared to other treatments, while the fourth treatment was excelled in the traits of the average weight of the egg compared to the rest of the treatments.
