Live body weight, shank length, keel length and carcass dissection data taken at 6 weeks of age were availableon 103 quails from 33 sires. In a principal factor analysis, the first varimax rotated factor explaining 46.1% ofthe total Variation, revealed that body weight had negative loading and all bone percentages positive. Theimplied contrast was confirmed by the finding that body weight (h,sup>2</sup> = 0.61) was genetically correlated negativelywith weight of total bone relative to body weight (−0.23) and to carcass weight (−0.58). Noticeably, shank length(SL) had large positive genetic correlation with body weight (0.90) and practically independent relationship withbody bone percentage (−0.04).  Selection indexes for meat production capacity were construeted. The breeding goal was defined as body weight(BW) and body bone percentage (BBP). The descending order ofthe unrestricted indexes with respect to thecorrelation between the index and genetic worth was: the füll index utilising body weight, shank length and keellength (0.95), indexes based on body weight and one length measurement (0.86), body weight alone (0.78). Theaccuracy was reduced by 17–35% upon restraining changes in BBP to zero. This study indicated that an index ofconsiderable accuracy and remarkable usefulness would be I3 = 4.56 BW + 244.87 SL. Use of this index shouldresult in developing birds with higher body weight and more advantageous carcass attributes than selecting forbody weight alone (L) or on the restricted füll index (I<sub>I(BBP)</sub>). Such three indexes were most efficient in limitingreduction in BBP
