Description The present study was carried out to assess the effect of dietary incorporation of Red chilli pedicle powder (RCPP) on performance of quails. Day old Japanese quails (N=150) were distributed randomly to five dietary groups each with three replicates of 10 birds. Diets were prepared with incorporation of RCPP at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 per cent and were provided adlibitum from 0-5 weeks. Blood was collected from two birds per replicate at the end of 5th week for serum biochemical analysis. Two birds per replicate were slaughtered at the end of the trial. Serum total protein, serum albumin, globulin, albumin globulin ratio, serum calcium and serum phosphorus were not affected by various levels of RCPP. But, serum total cholesterol, serum LDL-C, serum VLDL-C, serum triglycerides, SGPT, BUN, creatinine and serum glucose (P<0.01) SGOT (P<0.05) were significantly decreased with increasing levels of RCPP. Serum HDL-C values were increased significantly (P<0.01) with increase in RCPP level in diet.
 Mean dressing percentage, percent weights of gizzard, giblet (P<0.01), heart and carcass weight (P<0.05) were significantly increased with increasing levels of RCPP in diet. Mean scores of sensory evaluation for colour and flavour of meat were increased significantly (P<0.05) at 2.0 per cent RCPP when compared with the other treatment groups. Basing on the results it can be concluded that RCPP can be incorporated up to 2.0% level in the diet for the production of designer meat with better organoleptic characters.
