Common poultry birds like chicken, duck, quail and pigeon meat is gaining interest due to their genetic potentiality and management factors as well as special characters of their meat and egg. With a view to considers consumers demand, promising alternative bird farming and meat quality research, an attempt was undertaken to conduct a preliminary study to compare carcass characteristics, blood parameter, intestinal microbiology and meat composition of quail and pigeon of Bangladesh. The result revealed that, carcass traits, hematological parameters and intestinal microbiology did differ between quail and pigeon (P 0.05). Thus, the preliminary study suggested that farmers can easily rear quail and pigeon for consumption of meat, however, further detail study can ensure detail physiological aspects and meat quality parameters of quail and pigeon.
