2005 journal article

Effects of virginiamycin and a man mannanoligosaccharide-virginiamycin shuttle program on the growth and performance of large white female turkeys

POULTRY SCIENCE, 84(12), 1967–1973.

By: C. Parks*, J. Grimes n & P. Ferket n 

author keywords: turkey; virginiamycin; mannanoligosaccharide; growth; shuttle program; carcass yield
MeSH headings : Aging; Animal Feed; Animals; Anti-Bacterial Agents / administration & dosage; Anti-Bacterial Agents / pharmacology; Diet; Dietary Supplements; Drug Administration Schedule; Female; Mannans / administration & dosage; Mannans / pharmacology; Turkeys / growth & development; Virginiamycin / administration & dosage; Virginiamycin / pharmacology; Weight Gain / drug effects
TL;DR: The MOS-VM shuttle program resulted in early growth depression for birds less than 3 wk of age, possibly influenced by an unplanned cold stress, but better growth than the nonmedicated control birds after 6 wK of age. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effect of wheat enzyme preparation on the performance characteristics of tom turkeys fed wheat-based rations

POULTRY SCIENCE, 81(7), 987–994.

By: N. Odetallah*, C. Parks* & P. Ferket* 

author keywords: wheat; enzyme; turkey; growth performance
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal; Dietary Supplements; Eating; Endo-1,4-beta Xylanases; Feathers; Glucan Endo-1,3-beta-D-Glucosidase / administration & dosage; Male; Triticum; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / physiology; Xylosidases / administration & dosage
TL;DR: The results of this experiment demonstrate marginal improvement in growth performance of turkeys depending upon enzyme formulation, with the Natugrain blend treatment having the lowest mortality rate through the experiment. (via Semantic Scholar)
