To develop processed meat products of pheasant, cut-up parts of pheasant carcass was analyzed, and eight different pheasant meat products were prepared and evaluated for sensory qualities. The average live weight of pheasant was 1,089.2g, and the ratio of carcass to live weight was 75.6%. The cut-up part ratios of breast, leg, neck, back and wings to carcass weight were 33.4%, 22.5%, 5.0%, 4% and 9.5%, respectively. The chemical compositions of breast and leg meat were shown to be moisture of 73.72% and 75.58%, protein of 25.31% and 22.69%, fat of 0.28% and 0.83%, and ash of 0.84% and 0.90%, respectively. Sensory evaluation of eight different meat products of pheasant revealed that all products of pheasant meat, except frankfurt sausage, received equal or better taste score compared with products of chicken or pork, and flavor score except pressed ham and salad. Color, binding ability and particle perception scores of pheasant meat products were equal or superior to those of respective meat products of chicken or pork. The present results suggest that pheasant meat has a potential to be utilized for various value-added products and that the meat bun is the most promising product of pheasant meat. A reinforcement of color, binding ability and particle perception of meat products of other species could also be expected by addition of pheasant meat to them.

This study was carried out to investigate meat production ability of special poultry(Ogol fowl, pheasant and mallard). The results obtained Were summarized as follows ; 1. On the average live weight in male and female of Ogol fowl and mallard were 1,304.0~1,311.8g, 1,013.0~1,138.8g, respectively. The live weight of pheasant was lighter than that of Ogol fowl and mallard. The ratio of carcass to live weight in pheasant, Ogol fowl and mallard were 70.9~72.2%, 66.9~68.2% and 65.4~65.9%, respectively. 2. On the edible giblets ratio to live weight, the that of mallard was the highest(6.3%), while the that of Ogol fowl was the lowest(4.7~4.8%) in each individual poultry. 3. On the cut-up parts ratio to carcass weight, the neck(6.7~8.3%) and back(16.1~18.0%) ratio of pheasant were lower than that of Ogol fowl and mallard, but the neck(11.1~13.3%), wings(14.6~16.2%) and back(23.6~5.2%) ratio of mallard were higher than the others. 4. On the ratio of meat to breast and legs parts, the yield of breast meat was higher than that of legs meat of all poultries. In mallard, the skin ratio on both parts(17.6~22.9%) was higher than the others, while the bone ratio of pheasant and Ogol fowl(15.6~20.6) was higher than that of mallard.
