Effect of physical feed restriction during rearing on Large White turkey breeder hens: 3. Body and carcass composition

POULTRY SCIENCE, 81(12), 1792–1797.

By: A. Crouch*, J. Grimes*, V. Christensen* & K. Krueger*

author keywords: turkey breeder hen; feed restriction; body and carcass composition; prolactin
MeSH headings : Adipose Tissue; Aging; Animals; Body Composition; Body Water; Body Weight; Crop, Avian / anatomy & histology; Female; Food Deprivation; Light; Muscle, Skeletal / anatomy & histology; Organ Size; Oviducts / anatomy & histology; Oviposition; Prolactin / blood; Proteins / analysis; Seasons; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR: Further research on quantitative feed-restriction programs, which result in body weight reductions as described in this study, should address specific physiological and nutritional requirements and not be implemented as general programs. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Effect of physical feed restriction during rearing on large white turkey breeder hens: 1. Growth performance

POULTRY SCIENCE, 81(1), 9–15.

By: A. Crouch*, J. Grimes n, V. Christensen n & K. Krueger*

author keywords: turkey breeder hen; feed restriction; body weight gain; feed consumption; feed conversion
MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Body Weight / physiology; Eating / physiology; Female; Food Deprivation / physiology; Oviposition / physiology; Random Allocation; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR: Large White turkey breeder hens were fed ad libitum for a 20-wk summer season egg production cycle, feed-restricted from 16 to 24 wk (CR), feed- restricted from 3 to 16 wK (RC), or feed- restricts for 3 to 24Wk (RR), and at the end of the study, cumulative feed consumption was significantly less for restricted treatments.

MeSH headings : Animal Feed; Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Body Weight; Female; Fertility / physiology; Food Deprivation / physiology; Oviposition / physiology; Random Allocation; Temperature; Time Factors; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / physiology
TL;DR: Age of breeder, season of implementation, and length of physical feed restriction have significant effects on the reproductive performance of turkey breeder hens. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Hatchery and transportation factors associated with early poult mortality in commercial turkey flocks

POULTRY SCIENCE, 81(12), 1818–1825.

By: D. Carver n, J. Fetrow n, T. Gerig n, K. Krueger n & H. Barnes n

author keywords: poult; turkey; mortality; hatchery; transportation
MeSH headings : Animals; Female; Housing, Animal; Logistic Models; Male; Mortality; Risk Factors; Seasons; Temperature; Time Factors; Transportation; Turkeys / growth & development; Turkeys / physiology; Weather
TL;DR: A prospective ecologic study, using routinely collected data from commercial turkey companies, was done of 312 turkey flocks placed over a 1-yr period to identify hatchery- and transportation-associated risk factors for poult mortality in the first 14 d after placement using statistical models.

2000 journal article

Use of statistical modeling to assess risk for early poult mortality in commercial turkey flocks

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 9(3), 303–318.

By: D. Carver n, J. Fetrow*, T. Gerig n, M. Correa n, K. Krueger* & H. Barnes n

TL;DR: Season of placement, breeder flock age, strain, hatchery, and company had significant effects on risk of poult mortality in the first 14 days after placement, although toms experienced greater mortality. (via Semantic Scholar)
