AB  - Problem statement: The effects of inclusion of aqueous extract of Bush marigold (Aspilia africana) leaf in quail diet were investigated. One hundred and fifty Japanese quail chicks were used in the study. Approach: In the 14-weeks feeding experiment, the birds were assigned to five treatments of; 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10% inclusion of aqueous extract of Bush marigold leaf. Each treatment had 3 replicates of 10 birds per replicate in a randomized complete block design. Results: The results indicated that feeding Aqueous extract of Bush Marigold Leaf (AeBML) did not affect (p>0.05) daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and carcass yield. Mortality and % cracked eggs were reduced (p0.05) affected by dietary supplementations with AeBML. Egg number and hen day production increased (p
