Description
Much attention has been given recently to the use and value of high energy rations for poultry, particularly for broilers and to a limited extent for laying hens and young turkeys. Although the general fundamentals of the findings may appear applicable in formulation of diets for growing turkeys beyond the age of 8 weeks, little direct evidence has been available to justify such application. Actually, there is some evidence to indicate that the higher energy diets may not necessarily promote a more rapid rate of gain for the older birds. The current study considers the possible effects of protein and antibiotics on the problem.
