Male Turkeys for Meat

Male Turkeys for Meat Highlights

• Excellent Meat Yield: Male turkeys are known for their substantial breast meat, making them a popular choice for meat production. They typically reach market weight within 14-20 weeks, depending on breed and feeding.
• Nutritional Feed Requirements: For optimal growth and meat quality, turkeys require a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Specific feed formulations are available for different growth stages.
• Space and Shelter Needs: Turkeys require adequate space to roam and forage, as well as clean, dry shelter to protect them from the elements and predators. Proper ventilation is crucial to prevent respiratory issues.
• Brooding Period: Young turkey poults need a warm, draft-free brooder for the first few weeks of life, with temperatures gradually reduced as they mature. This critical period ensures their survival and healthy development.
• Growth Rate and Maturity: Male turkeys grow rapidly, with some breeds reaching weights of 15-25 pounds or more by market age. Their growth rate is influenced by genetics, nutrition, and environmental conditions.
• Disease Prevention: Good biosecurity practices, including regular cleaning of housing and water sources, are essential for preventing common poultry diseases. Vaccination programs may also be recommended.
