Poultry sector is playing title role in global food security issues and balanced diet with vitamins and minerals for best performance of birds is foremost requirement of this sector. Investigations were performed to evaluate the impact of Vitamin-E (Vit-E) and in-organic Selenium (in-organic Se) on growth and body morphometric traits of Japanese quail. Investigations were done on 480 birds (1-day old) of Japanese quail. The investigational birds were divided into 4 treatment sets (n=120) like (A) Vit-E @ 250mg/Kg of diet, (B) In-organic Se @ 0.2 mg/Kg of diet, (C) Vit-E+ in-organic Se, (D) control group in diet. Each group was subdivided into 6-replicates partaking 20 birds in each. Feed and water Ad libitum was given by automatic nipple lines drinking system. During 35-days chicks were maintained on a 24-hour light schedule. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range (DMR) test were used for statistical analysis. Supplementation of Vit-E and in-organic Se fed diet had significant impact (P<0.05) on growth performance regarding feed consumption, body weight, body weight gain, food conversion ratio and livability (%). Addition of Vit-E and in-organic Se fed diet shows significant effect (P<0.05) on body morphometric traits regarding body length, keel length, shank length, drumstick length, drumstick diameter, chest circumference and wing spread whereas, shank diameter and wing span showed no significant effect (P>0.05). Vit-E and in-organic Se supplemented group showed remarkable influences on growth performance and body morphometric traits comparatively sole Vit-E and in-organic Se supplemented groups.
