Differences in growth and carcass coposition of growing male and female turkeys
Original language description
An experiment was conducted with 1680 turkey poults one day-old (720 males and 960 females) of the Hybrid ConverterTM genotype to compare the growth performance of male and female turkeys. The experiment lasted to 119 days of age for males and 126 days for females, during which 6 commercial-type feeds were fed, with changes occurring at 21, 42, 63, 84 and 102 days of age. Performance was evaluated by weekly weighing and measuring feed consumption in each pen at week intervals. At 1, 7, 14, 21, 35, 56, 77, 119 (males) and 126 (female) days, 12 birds from each sex were sampled for weights of carcass, liver, gizzard, heart, thighs and breast. The Gompertz equation fitted separately to male and female growth data suggest that males would have had a mature weight 16 kg heavier than females (34,6 vs. 18,7 kg) and that the females would have matured 36 % faster than males (0,0232 vs. 0,0170 /day). The weights of liver, gizzard and heart were similar for males and females in the early part of the growing per
