In this study the heritability of body weights of Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix Japanica) was estimated by using ML (Maximum Likelihood) methods. Firstly, the variance components were estimated by using ML method which were later estimated the heritability for weekly body weights. The estimation of heritability of body weights are following: for third week: 0.272±0.066, for fourth week: 0.60±0.13, for fifth week: 0.312±0.074
Key words: Body weight / Heritability / Maximum Likelihood Method / Variance Components
