Title : Effect of Supplementation of Soybean Cake and Fishmeal with Lysine and Methionine in Broiler Diets on the Growth Performance of Turkey Poults Material Type: printed text Authors: Mukesh Karki, Author Publication Date: 2006 Article on page: 70-74 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Fishmeal, lysine, methionine, soybean cake, turkey Abstract: The study was carried out during June to August 2003, using one hundred and eight day old
turkey poults which were randomly divided into twelve groups, 9 birds in each. Three replicate
were allocated to each four dietary treatments. Commercially available broiler feed (Ratna feed)
was considered as basal diet (Diet-1), Diet-2 was prepared by addition of lysine (0.3%) +
methionine (0.1%) to Diet-1, Diet-3 was prepared by supplementation of soybean cake (15%) +
lysine (0.2%) + methionine (0.1%) to Diet-1and Diet-4 was formulated by addition of soybean
cake (10%) + fishmeal (5%) in Diet-1. Each diet was offered ad lib. from one week to 10 weeks
of age. Observation on weekly body weight, weekly and cumulative feed consumed was
accessed. Weekly body weight gain and feed conversion ratio was calculated. Economics of
dietary treatments in terms of income over chicks and feed cost was also calculated.
Significantly higher body weight (P g), followed by Diet-4 (1745.3 ± 33 g) and Diet-2 (1460.8 ± 51 g) as compared to Diet-1 (1125.2
± 20 g) up to 10 weeks of age. The birds fed with supplemented diet consumed significantly (P 0.01) higher feed than that of basal diet. The average additional profit per bird fed with
supplemented diets over basal diet was found to be Rs 31.21, Rs 29.4 and Rs 9.92 for Diet-3,
followed by Diet-4 and Diet-2, respectively. The results showed that supplemented diets were
more economical than that of basal diet. It may be concluded that supplementation of either
soybean cake (15%) along with lysine (0.2%) and methionine (0.1%) or soybean cake (10%) and
fishmeal (5%) in commercial broiler ration could be beneficial for enhancing higher body weight
of turkey poults and resulted higher gross income as compared to basal diet (broiler ration).Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=49

Title : Growth, Efficiency of Feed Utilization and Economics of Different Rearing Periods of Turkeys Material Type: printed text Authors: Mukesh Karki, Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 84-88 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Economics, feed utilization, growth, rearing period, turkey Abstract: The present study on body weight and feed efficiency for growth was carried out on 112 turkey
poults from day of hatch to 28 weeks of age during May to November 2002 at Poultry Research
Unit of Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS)-Parwanipur. Layer starter ration
supplemented with 6% fish meal + 0.3% lysine + 0.125% methonine was fed up to 8 weeks of
age, then after layer finisher diet was fed. The body weight, feed consumption was observed at 4
weekly interval and feed efficiency and economics of rearing period in terms of income over
feed and poults cost was calculated. Significant increase in body weight was recorded up to 28
weeks in male and 20 weeks in female. Male turkey had significantly higher body weight than
that of female in all ages. Feed efficiency is best at earlier age but up to 16 weeks it is 3.77 for
male after that it detoriates progressively. Male turkey exhibited better feed efficiency than that
of female for all weeks. Significantly higher return per bird was obtained from male than that of
female in all age. The profit per bird for both male and female was found maximum in 16 weeks
of rearing, followed by 20 weeks and 24 weeks. Therefore, instead of waiting for highest body
weight, it is better to sell turkey at 16 to 20 weeks of age to take maximum advantage of higher
weight gain, higher efficiency of feed utilization and higher profit.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=66

Title : Study on Egg Laying Performance of Turkeys in the Central Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Mukesh Karki, Author ; Sagar Paudel, Author Pagination: 264-267 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The observation was carried out at Poultry Research Unit of Regional Agricultural Research Station,
Parwanipur during Feb-20 to Dec-24, 2003 using 48 matured female turkeys. The experimental birds were
randomly divided into four groups and were housed in separate compartment in deep litter housing. Daily
egg production, weekly feed intake and mortality were recorded from on set of lay to 44 weeks duration.
First lay was observed at 45 weeks of age. However, the peak egg production was found at 49-56 weeks
with the average hen day egg production and hen housed egg production of 53.26% and 14.9 egg/hen/28
days, there after found to be declined with age. The average feed intake, mortality and egg production of
female was found to be 204 g/day, 4.17% and 67egg/hen, respectively. Similarly, average egg weight was
recorded 76.07g and hatchability was found 58%. The observation clearly indicated the higher cost of
production so that comprehensive research needs to be carried out in the future towards minimizing the cost
of poult production.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=345 Study on Egg Laying Performance of Turkeys in the Central Terai of Nepal [printed text] / Mukesh Karki, Author ; Sagar Paudel, Author . - [s.d.] . - 264-267 p.
