The rising interest in natural water supplements for poultry prompted the evaluation of tomato juice as a potential additive in the drinking water of laying quails. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the effect of supplementing tomato juice in the laying performance of quails. It was undertaken at Poblacion, San Gabriel, La Union from July 18 to August 30, 2024. A total of sixty ready-to-lay quails were used and randomly assigned to four treatments in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and five birds per unit. Results showed that higher levels of tomato juice, particularly at 15%, significantly reduced hen-day and hen-house egg production. Egg weight, water intake, and profit above feed, medicine, and stock cost were also significantly affected, while feed consumption and feed conversion ratios remained statistically comparable across all treatments.
