The effect of the Panax ginseng powder extract on reproduction, growth, renal and liver functions and some blood biochemical indices of Japanese quails were investigated. Panax ginseng powder extract at 2 mg and 4 mg/bird daily increased egg number per hen, average egg weight and hatchability. It slightly improved the efficiency of feed utilization and increased the levels of serum total protein, alkaline phosphatase and aspartate amino transferase (AST). The extract decreased significantly the levels of albumin, total lipids, triacylglycerols, cholesterol and glucose, and had no effect on body weight and the levels of serum bilirubin, urea and creatinine. This suggests that long term studies should be done on many different biochemical and physiological parameters and laboratory animals.
