Morphometric variation can be effectively measured within and between populations used as a basis for characterization of different livestock types. The study was aimed at contributing to the process Japanese quail (mottled brown white) through quantitative assessment. Zoometrical data on body weight 11 measurement were taken 747 mottled 272 white from six farms around Ibadan in Southwest Niger...
