College of Agriculture ,University of Baghdad to investigate the effects of probiotic fermented supplementation on egg quality in Cotornix Japonica (No. 160 female, 24 wk old, period 1/1/2014 to 31/3/2014). The effect of four treatments (0, 25, 50 and75 % probioptic fermented ) , were evenly distributed to 4 groups with two replicates containing (20 birds in each replicate). Increase of egg yolk weight was not significant (P>0.05) in first , second and third week, had significant effect on egg yolk weight from fourth week to eight week (P<0.05). Although addition of probiotic had significant effect (P<0.05) on egg yolk high in 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 7 and 8 week, had no significant effect (P>0.05) in 3 , 4 and 6 week, although addition of probiotic had significant effect (P<0.05) on egg albumin weight, the increase of egg albumin weight with increase of probiotic, these were expected which have already been reported. Although addition of probiotic had significant effect (P<0.05) on egg albumin high, the increase of egg albumin high with increase of probiotic. Statistically not significant effect (P>0.05) addition of probiotic on shell weight. Although addition of probiotic had significant effect (P<0.05) on Haugh unit, the increase of Haugh unit with increase of probiotic.
