Abstract

The present study was conducted to evaluate carcass yield and meat quality of quails fed different levels of cassava zest in the quail diet. A total of 100 native quails from the region were used in a mixed-sex group, where the parameters of carcass yield, noble cuts (breast and thigh plus thigh), gizzard yield, pH were evaluated. Water activity (Aw) and luminosity (L *, a *, b *). No difference was observed between the parameters of the analyzed variables, and it was possible to increase the level of cassava zest in the quail feed, allowing the addition of pigments in the ratio since it decreased the incidence of red (a *) in meat.
