NUTRITION AND FEEDING OF TURKEYS
The championship potential of a turkey is determined by genetics.
The animal's environment dictates whether this championship potential will be attained. Nutrition is a critical part of a bird's environment, and a good ration is the foundation of turkey growth
No matter what a turkey is fed,
1. it will only grow as well as you feed it, and
2. it cannot grow beyond its maximum potential.
There are four important principles in developing an appropriate nutrition program for turkeys.
PRINCIPLE 1. To grow, turkeys must eat and drink.
PRINCIPLE 2. To grow well, turkeys must eat the right things.
PRINCIPLE 3. To win, turkeys must eat and grow in a balanced way.
PRINCIPLE 4. To unbalance a balanced ration with supplements is destructive.
Turkeys require high protein rations. A turkey starter feed with protein concentrations of 28 to 30 percent is usually successful.
