  • Bidara leaves (Ziziphus mauritiana) contain quercetin 3-O-rhamnoglucoside 7-O rhamnoside which is a major flavonoid compound that has the potential as an antioxidant. This study was aimed to determine the effect of giving bidara leaf extract as an alternative antioxidant on the haematological status of quail. This study used 160 quails aged 9 days that were reared for 42 days. This study used a completely randomized design, which consisted of 5 treatments and 4 replications. Using the experimental arrangement: P0 (without vitamin C and bidara leaf extract); P1(vitamin C); P2 (0.20 mL bidara leaf extract); P3 (0.24 mL bidara leaf extract) and P4 (0.28 mL bidara leaf extract). Parameters measured were hematocrit, haemoglobin, erythrocyte and leukocyte. The result showed that erythrocytes and leucocytes had no significant effect (P>0.05) but had a significant effect (P
