The goal of this study was to evaluate allometric traits of a new type of meat quails which has been developed at Department of Animal Science of Universidade Federal de Pelotas. A total of 120 experimental units, 60 of each gender in four different slaughtering ages (35, 42, 49 and 56 days) were utilized. The statistical analysis was conducted using the GLM procedure of SAS. There were no significant differences between most of the variables studied. However, a significant difference in the allometric development was verified for the growth of breast bone and wing bone for 35-day males, which presented premature development. Likewise, there was significant difference in 56-day males’ fat, which had late development with heterogonic growth. If one advocates slaughter earlier in the male meat quail, preventing the deposition of fat, which results in unnecessary costs to the production of these quail.
