Effect of Different Protein Diets on the Growth Performance of Turkey
TOTAL VIEWS: 4062
Abstract
An experiment was conducted with the objective to investigate the effect of different levels of protein diets in the turkey rations. The experimental design used for the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 2x4 factorial combinations of treatments: Two levels of breed Broad Breasted White (BBW) and Broad Breasted Bronze (BBB) and four levels of diets (16%, 18%, 20% and 22%). Each treatment was replicated thrice using 24 pens consisting 120 birds. They were allowed adlib feed, water and uniform management throughout the entire experiment. The live weight, feed intake, dressing percentage, sharing of different organs were analyzed. At the end of the experiment the live weight (6.99 kg) was significantly high (p<0.01) with BBW at 16% protein in the concentrate. Highest average daily gain did not differ significantly. Similarly, cumulative feed consumption also did not differ significantly. Blood biochemical profile showed normal health condition of the turkeys with mean values of total protein, albumin, globulin and serum calcium were found to be 4.46 g/dl, 1.52 g/dl, 2.95 g/dl and 0.59g/dl respectively where non-significant interaction was observed. Looking towards the result of this experiment, it can be concluded that concentrate diet with 16% protein level has beneficiary effect on the performance of BBW turkey however further experiments are suggested to verify the results in wider scale and locations before recommending the technology on dietary requirement of turkey in our context.
