ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to evaluate growth and development and difference between size and weights of three quail species namely China yellow quail, Beijing white quail and Korea quail. Various parameters in respect of these species like shank length, chest width, chest depth, breastbone length, shank circumference, body length, daily weight gain and weight were recorded under similar feeding conditions. The data so obtained was analysed statistically using SPSS. It was revealed that the body weight, shank length, chest width, chest depth, breastbone length, body length, shank circumference and daily gain of Korea quail are significantly higher (P£0.05) than those of China yellow quail and Beijing white quail. It was concluded the Korea quail grows fastest, followed by China yellow quail and Beijing white quail, successively
