Özet: Aim of this research is to determine the growth curves for weight gain realized by gender quails. Depending on the actual weight of the growth takes place in defining the growth of time, two-and three-stage logistic growth function was used. Logistic growth functions are quite suitable for single and multi-stage growth studies. In this study, used quails are provided by Poultry Production Unit, Faculty of Agriculture, and University of Ahi Evran. They are provided an equal number of quails in cages and fed under the same conditions. 50 female and 50 male quail chicks were used as test material. Quail weights were measured and recorded according to gender 3-day intervals. Quail function of the growth curve for each phase, error variance, mean error, auto-correlation and coefficient of determination were compared. Accordingly, the growth curve parameters can be used as a selection criterion in terms of Japanese quail was concluded that the increase in body weight.
