The objectives of this study were to analyze the quality from laying hens fed with fed feed containing black pepper flour (Piper Ningrum L). A total of 200 brown laying hens strain MB 402 (50 week-old) were used in this experimental. The research design used was completely randomized (CRD), and further analysis was conducted using Duncan^s Multiple Range Test. Treatments given black pepper flour (Piper Ningrum L) were 0%, 0,5%, 1%, 1,5%, and 2%. This research was conducted for 6 weeks. Parameters included: egg weight (g), egg yolk weight, egg yolk index, egg yolk color, egg yolk crude protein, egg white crude protein, egg crude fat, egg cholesterol (%). The results showed that feeding birds with 2 % increased to gave a very significant effect (P < 0.01) on egg yolk weight,yolk index, egg yolk color, egg yolk crude protein,egg white crude protein, egg crude fat, egg cholesterol but not significantly different (P > 0.05) on egg weight,.In Conclusion, BPF diets can be fed the laying hens up to 2 % to produce eggs without negative effects on the egg quality
