The Effect of Lentil-By Product on Growth Performance and Carcass Traits of Heavy White Turkeys
(Facta-fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2018) Sogut, B.; Kurbal, O. F.; Inci, H.; Ayasan, T.
The subject of this study was to figure out the effects of lentil by product (LP) on growth performance and carcass traits of the white heavy turkeys. To accomplish this goal, a total of 210 day old big-6 turkey chicks were used. The birds were divided into 7 seven groups with 3 replicates. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th groups received 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 % lentil by product, respectively. All the diets were made as izonitrojenic and izocaloric. The highest live body weights of males and females were observed in the control group at the end of the 15th week, which was the time of slaughtering of females, however the differences between the control and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th groups were not significant (p>0.05). The same differences continued for males at the end of the 17th wk of age, which was the time of slaughtering of males. Similar results were observed in carcass traits, as well. The best FCR was noted in the control group and it was significantly (p<0.05) different than in the treatment groups. The lowest and highest feed intake was observed in the 7th and 3rd groups. No significant differences were observed between control and all treatment groups. As a result, it could be said that lentil by product could be added into turkey diets up to 15% with no negative effect on live body weight and carcass traits because there was no significant differences between control and treatment groups (5, 10,15 % LP).
Growth Performance of Big-6 Broiler White Turkeys in the Different Rearing Conditions
(2010) Sogut, B.; Kurbal, O.F.; Demirulus, H.; Inci, H.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of rearing partially outdoor and indoor conditions on growth rate and carcass yields of Big-6 heavy white turkeys. Totally 144 white toms were divided into 3 groups (Pasture-1, Pasture-2 and Control) with 6 replicates, randomly. Pature-1 (PI) and Pasture-2 (P2) had outdoor access from 42 and 49 days old till end of the trail, respectively, while control group was kept indoor. All birds consumed commercial turkey breeding feed. At the end of trial, no significant differences were observed in terms of body weight but the best one was the control group. The lower feed consume and the best feed to gain was observed in PI (3.06) and P2 (3.56) then Control group (3.73), which was significantly different (p<0.05). Outdoor access did not have significant effect on carcass weight, breast meat and legs (Thights + drumstick) but it differed the wings (p<0.05). As a result, it has been said that Big-6 heavy Turkeys have to be fed inside without outdoor access so far. According to results of present study, one may say that Big-6 white turkey could be grazed with no deleterious effect on growth performance. However, more study is needed to determine age of access to outdoor and growth performance of Big-6 white turkeys at different grazing fields. © Medwell Journals, 2010.
