Abstract
A comparative study was conducted on meat quality characteristics of ' Giriraja' and commercial broiler birds slaughtered at the age of 7-8 w eeks. Live and carcass weights as well as weights of organs such as gi blet and neck of broilers were significantly (P<0.01) higher. However, there was no significant (P<0.05) difference between the moisture, pr otein, fat and ash contents in the meats from both the groups. Organol eptically, meat product from both the groups scored almost the same va lues.
