Roselle seed contains 20% of protein and 18% of fats. It is both source of energy and<br />

protein. The main objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of Roselle<br />

seed on the post-harvest quality of quail meat. Thirty-six quail birds were bought and<br />

divided into three each per cage. One group were received the basal diet (control).<br />

The other group was with inclusion of Roselle seed (5, 10 and 15) in common<br />

commercial food. Result for live weight gain and carcass weight were significantly<br />

different between treatments (P 0.05). Data for firmness, feed consumption ratio and drip loss also<br />

were significantly different between treatments. This result shows that feeding quails<br />

with 15% of Roselle seed give better carcass characteristic and gave satisfactory<br />

result.<br />
