Abstract: A field experiment was conducted in the poultry field of the Veterinary Public Health Branch / College of Veterinary Medicine / University of Basra to study the effect of adding chamomile flower powder to the diet on some physiological, microbial and egg traits in quail.270 Cotrinux Japonica quails, 6 weeks old, were used in this study. The birds were randomly distributed into 3 treatments, 90 birds per treatment, with three replicates (30 birds/replicate). Chamomile flower was added in powdered form to the bird feed at a concentration of 0.1% and 0.3% compared with the control group from the age of (6-10) weeks. Upon completion of the experiment, some physiological characteristics were measured, such as the concentration of total protein, Globulin, Albumin glucose, cholesterol, Triglyceride, uric acid and Creatinie in the serum, the internal characteristics of the egg, and the total number of bacteria in the intestine. The results of the study indicated to: It was that there was a significant increase (p< 0.05) in the concentration of total protein, the percentage of egg shell weight, the albumin weight and yolk weight in the blood serum, while A significant decrease (p< 0.05) was observed in the total number of Fungi, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus bacteria treated with 0.3 mg chamomile flower compared to the control group at 10 weeks of age.
