The present paper aims to assess the carcass yield of a new type of meat quails which has been developed at Department of Animal Science of Universidade Federal de Pelotas. A total of 120 birds were analyzed, distributed in a completely randomized design with 8 treatments, 15 replicates of 1 bird per experimental unit in a 2x4 factorial design (age and sex). The statistical analysis was conducted using a procedure within a factorial model of fixed effect. The effect of age was significant for all variables of dissection, except for the amount of leg muscle and carcass fat that did not vary significantly throughout the growth of the birds. There was significant interaction between gender and age in the amount of leg muscle, skin and carcass fat. Most parts of the carcass had gained weight only up to forty two days, indicating that growth of quails of both sexes could stabilize at this age.
