The objective of this research is to evaluate the productive parameters before feed conversion, laying percentage (monthly), quail egg weight (beginning of laying, laying peak), number of eggs produced per month, quail egg weight, quail egg yolk weight, quail egg albumen weight, quail egg diameter (mm), mortality rate, cost, feeding crushed oregano to quail daily feed. Two hundred laying quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) of 6 weeks of age distributed with a completely random design were used, 5 treatments with four repetitions and 10 birds for each experimental unit were used.
