İnvestigation was carried out using japanese quails. There were obtained high and positive correlations among body length, breast width and the weights of body and parts of carcass (P<0.001). The correlation coefficients between shank length and other traits were low and insignificant.

The correlation coefficients between the body weight and the weight of each parts of carcass were high and significant (P<0.01). Keywords :
