| 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. |
