2021 journal article

Effect of methionine chelated Zn and Mn and corn particle size on Large White male turkey live performance and carcass yields

POULTRY SCIENCE, 100(11).

By: K. Flores n, A. Fahrenholz n, P. Ferket n , T. Biggs & J. Grimes n

Contributors: K. Flores n, A. Fahrenholz n, P. Ferket n , T. Biggs & J. Grimes n

author keywords: turkey; zinc; manganese; chelate; carcass yield
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / analysis; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena; Animals; Chickens; Diet / veterinary; Dietary Supplements; Manganese; Methionine; Particle Size; Turkeys; Zea mays; Zinc
TL;DR: Increasing the corn mean particle size and adding it post pellet could save money during feed milling; however, birds might have a slightly lower BW and a combination of inorganic and chelated Zn and Mn may improve performance and increase total breast meat yields. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effect of pellet quality and biochar litter amendment on male turkey performance

POULTRY SCIENCE, 100(4).

By: K. Flores n, A. Fahrenholz n & J. Grimes n

Contributors: K. Flores n, A. Fahrenholz n & J. Grimes n

author keywords: turkey; feed-fine; pellet quality; biochar; miscanthus grass
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Weight; Charcoal; Floors and Floorcoverings / standards; Male; Random Allocation; Turkeys / growth & development
TL;DR: Strategies to reduce the abundance of fines in feed through feed formulation, feed manufacturing, feed transport, and in-house feed management should be considered to increase male turkeys' performance. (via Semantic Scholar)
