Popis: Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of probiotics (lacto-feed) and stevia leaf powder as phytogenic compound in the diet on performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal microbial population and some blood parameters in Japanese quail. Material and Methods: This experiment conducted as a completely randomized design with 320 Japanese quail chicks and mixture of both sexes (average weight 7-9 g), in four treatments, four replications and 20 chickens per replicate. Experimental treatments included: 1- Diet without additives (control), 2- Diet containing probiotic lactofeed (0.02% up to 21 days and 0.01% up to 42 days) 3- Diet containing 1% stevia leaf powder and 4- Diet containing 2% were stevia leaf powder. The effects of probiotic lacto-feed and stevia leaf powder as phytogenic compound in the diet on yield, carcass characteristics, intestinal microbial population and some blood parameters of Japanese quail. Results: The results showed that experimental treatments; there was a significant in weight gain and feed conversion ratio between the experimental treatments (p
