Quails were high-productivity poultry, the use of feed containing certain enzymes such as papaya leaves thought to increase the nutrient digestibility of quails, besides that gender is also thought to affect nutrient digestibility. This study used 60 laying age quail (± 16 weeks age) consisting of 30 males and 30 females. corn, rice bran, layer concentrate and papaya leaf flour used as ration composition. This study used a completely randomized design of six treatments and five replication, the treatment consisted of the level of papaya leaves (PL) in rations distributed to different sexes, the treatments were P1 (0% PL: female quail), P2 (0% PL: male quail ), P3 (3% PL: female quail), P4 (3% PL: male quail) P5 (6% PL: female quail) and P6 (6% PL: male quail). Data obtained were analyzed by ANOVA and further tested using the Duncan multiple range tests, the variables observed were dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, and protein digestibility. The results showed that papaya leaf flour at level 3% did not affect (P > 0.05) on digestibility (dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, protein digestibility) compared to control but the use of papaya leaf flour at the level of 6% can significantly reduce nutrient digestibility (P 0.05) on nutrient digestibility. This study concluded that the use of PL in rations at levels above 3% can reduce nutrient digestibility.
