Abstract:	The study was conducted of 360 (120 each of the three lines); days old Japanese quails replicated four times each to know the growth pe1formance under our geographical condition. All experimental birds were reared under same feed and management condition. Chicken starter ration supplementing with 5% fishmeal H'as fed to all birds ad libitum. Daily feed intake, mortality and weekly weight gained recorded from day old to six weeks. The adult female, irrespective of lines are found slightly heavier than male. No significant difference was observed in feed intake at all age. Howe·ver, at maturity heavy I Feight had slightly higher cumulatil•e feed intake folloll'ed by wMte feather and white breasted fines (585.83 g, 576.63 g. 570.48 g., respectively). At 2, 3 and 4 weeks age, heavy weight showed significantly higher body weight than white feather but non significant difference was obse1Ted at maturity (1 45.68 g., 144.8 g., 142.04 g., respectively). Significantly better feed efficiency was observed in hem~v weight at 2 and 3 weeks of age followed by white breasted and white feather, although no significant differences 11 ·ere obsen•ed at maturity, nevertheless better efficiency was obsen·ed in 1vhite feather than other (4.19 I'S 4.23). A1ortality percentage of three lines did not show significant differences. 01•er all mortality lt'as observed 4.16% at 2 ll'eeks and 4.83% up to 6 weeks. It ll'as found that growth rate of quail is in increasing trends up to ji1·e weeks of age and is the best marketable age of Japanese quail (meat t)1Je) for fetching higher profit.
