Summary
The use of feed additives is a common practice for almost all species of animals raised under man's control. Addition of 60 ppm copper as copper sulfate to turkey diets improved growth rate to 8 weeks of age when low protein diets were used (POULTRY 81-2). This level of copper (60 ppm) along with Neo-Terramycin and Bacitracin was used in a factorial experiment to compare copper (Cu) and these two antibiotic supplements on the growth rate of turkeys receiving low or high protein diets.
