This research aimed to evaluate combination of pineapple peel juice and commercial diet and self made diet on performance, and antioxidant activity of quails. This research conducted using a complete randomized design factorial (2x2). Factor A used a different water drinking between Vita Stress (J0) and pineapple peel juice (J1). Factor B used different ration between commercial diet (RK) and self made diet (RS). This research used 320 quails which kept for 5 weeks and had given 4 treatments. The results showed that pineapple peel juice application which combined with commercial diet and self made diet had no significant effect to performance and carcass percentage. Pineapple peel application had a significant effect to increase diet consumption of quails (P<0.05). The self made diet had significant effect to increase drink consumption (P<0.05). Interaction between pineapple peel juice application which combined with commercial diet or self made diet application had significant effect in reducing MDA in liver and meat of quails (P<0.05). Pineapple peel juice supplementation didn’t interfere performance and had a potential as antioxidant in quail.Keywords: carcass percentage, MDA, performance, pineapple peel juice, quails.
