Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 54 quail birds aged 42\ndays from both sexes within nine genotypes (WW, LL, DD, WL, WD, LD, LW, DW and\nDL) – that resulted from full diallel cross of three lines (White, Light brown\nand Dark brown) – were used in this research. The trial was conducted at Dept.\nof Animal production, college of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University\nof Duhok, KR-Iraq, 2016. The live birds were weighed (LBW) and then slaughtered\nto be dissected into four major parts after eviscerating; the giblets part, the\nwhole slaughtered birds (carcass), both legs and finally the rest body\n(included breast and back of both sides). These major parts were weighed and calculated\nas ratio to LBW to be percentage (%). The findings showed that the effect of\ngenotype, sex and their interaction were significant on all studied\ncharacteristics, except the effect of sex on giblets %. The WD cross recorded\nthe highest carcass and body %, while the WW line achieved the highest giblets\n% and DL reciprocal cross resulted in the highest leg %. The males surpassed\nfemales in carcass, leg and body %; in spite of superiority of females in LBW\nthan males. The crosses resulted from D dam, appeared the highest interaction\nwith males for carcass, body and leg percentages; while the same line as sire\nwas combined well with L line as dam, and interacted positively with males for\ngiblets %. Carcass percent correlated significantly and negatively with LBW,\nand regression analysis illustrated a good dependency of carcass % on LBW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Key words:<\/strong> Quail, Crosses, Carcass\ndissection percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
