This study investigated the effects of incorporating dehydrated husks and prickly pear seed cake into coturni-culture during sequential and non-se quential rearing phases. A total of 600 day-old Coturnix coturnix japonica quail (equal sex ratio, 1:1), with an average weight of 7 ± 0.3g, were ran domly assigned to four groups: one control group and three experimental groups with incorporation rates of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of dehydrated husks and prickly pear seed cake. These were tested in sequential and non sequential rearing phases. Results showed that live weights at 45 days sig nificantly increased (p<0.05) when prickly pear by-products were intro duced during the finishing phase or throughout the rearing period. Simi larly, average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio also improved significantly (p<0.05). Carcass yield increased markedly (p<0.05), with the final incorporation group showing a rise of approximately 6 points, and the full incorporation group (30%) exhibiting an increase of about 8 points. Furthermore, the meat protein content was 5 points higher in the full incorporation group, while fat content was reduced by approximately 2 points compared to the control. In conclusion, the incorporation of de hydrated husks and prickly pear seed cake during the finishing phase or throughout the rearing period significantly enhanced growth performance, carcass yield, and meat quality.
