Feeding
Methods
Success of the feeding program should be measured by how it achieves the breeder's goals for proper weight and development specific to each strain. Feed and the length of time required for attaining certain weights in pullets and turkeys are presented in the growth and feed tables (below). These figures can be used as a guide in estimating the amount of feed required. These figures may vary considerably due to differences in the nutrient density of feed, strain or breed of bird, amount of feed wasted and environmental temperature.
