The results of this study indicated that the addition of cassava leaf flour (Manihot esculenta) had no significant effect (P>0.05) on quail feed consumption and conversion. The average feed consumption was P0 (343.89 gr/head), P1 (349.32 gr/head), P2 (356.44 gr/head) and P3 (347.18 gr/head) and the average feed conversion was P0 (2.094gr), P1 ( 2.114gr), P2 (1.995gr), and P3 (2.046gr). The treatment that can be used for quail livestock applications is treatment P1 with the addition of cassava leaf flour as much as 1%
