A note on the effect of charcoal supplementation on the performance of Big 6 heavy torn turkeys

摘要

The experiment was conducted on 204 Big 6 heavy tom turkeys. One-day-old chickens were allocated to two feeding groups, each with three replicates of 34 birds. All of the birds were fed identical granulated standard feeds in a three-stage system. The control birds were fed unsupplemented feed, the birds in the treatment group received a feed supplemented with pulverized hardwood charcoal at a dose of 3 kg/ton. Charcoal was given from day one of life for the entire period of rearing.
