Summary:The objective was to compare different random regression models using Legendre polynomial functions of different orders, to evaluate what best fits the genetic study of the growth curve of meat quails. It was evaluated data from 2136 cut dies quail, of which 1026 belonged to genetic group UFV1 and 1110 the group UFV2. Quail were weighed at 10, 70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 420, 770, 1120 and 1470 days of age, and weights used for the analysis. It was tested two possible modeling of heterogeneous residual variance, which was grouped into three five age classes. After, it was studied the random regression mode, which is better applied to the growth curve quail. The comparison between models was made by the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion of Schwarz (BIC), logarithm of the likelihood function ([Log.sub.e] L) and the likelihood ratio test (LRT), at 1%. The model which considered the heterogeneity of residual variance CL3 was adequate to UFV1 lineage and the lineage model CL5 UFV2. A Legendre polynomial with order 5, for direct genetic effect and 5 for the permanent animal to UFV1 bloodline and order 3 for direct genetic effect and 5 for the permanent animal for UFV2 bloodline should be used in genetic evaluation of the growth curve of meat quails. Key words: Coturnix coturnix, heritability, heterogeneous variance, Legendre polynomial. Objetivou-se comparar diferentes modelos de regressao aleatoria por meio de funcoes polinomiais de Legendre de diferentes ordens, para avaliar o que melhor se ajusta ao estudo genetico da curva de crescimento de codornas de corte. Foram avaliados dados de 2136 matrizes de codorna de corte, dos quais 1026 pertenciam ao grupo genetico UFV1 e 1110 ao grupo UFV2. As codornas foram pesadas nos 10, 70, 140, 210, 280, 350, 420, 770, 1120 e 147 dias de idade e seus pesos utilizados para a analise. Foram testadas duas possiveis modelagens de variancia residual heterogenea, sendo agrupadas em 3 e 5 classes de idade. Apos, foi realizado o estudo do modelo de regressao aleatoria que melhor aplica-se a curva de crescimento das codornas. A comparacao entre os modelos foi feita pelo Criterio de Informacao de Akaike (AIC), Criterio de Informacao Bayesiano de Schwarz (BIC), Logaritmo da funcao de verossimilhanca ([Log.sub.e] L) e teste da razao de verossimilhanca (LRT), ao nivel de 1%. O modelo que considerou a heterogeneidade de variancia residual CL3 mostrou-se adequado a linhagem UFV1, e o modelo CL5 a linhagem UFV2. Uma funcao polinomial de Legendre com ordem 5, para efeito genetico aditivo direto e 5 para efeito permanente de animal, para a linhagem UFV1 e, com ordem 3, para efeito genetico aditivo direto e 5 para efeito permanente de animal para a linhagem UFV2, deve ser utilizada na avaliacao genetica da curva de crescimento das codornas de corte. Palavras-chave: Coturnix coturnix, herdabilidade, heterogeneidade de variancia, polinomio de Legendre.
