Healthy Foreign Turkey - 7 Months Old, 18kg+ Highlights

  • Growth Stages: Turkeys typically reach market weight in 14-28 weeks, depending on the breed and desired size. They require specialized feed formulations throughout their growth cycle.
  • Housing Needs: Young turkeys (poults) need a warm, dry brooder with adequate ventilation and space. As they grow, they require more floor space and access to outdoor areas if possible.
  • Dietary Requirements: Turkeys have specific nutritional needs that change as they mature. Starter feeds are high in protein, transitioning to grower and finisher feeds with adjusted nutrient levels.
  • Brooding Temperature: Poults require a brooder temperature of around 95°F (35°C) for the first week, gradually decreasing by about 5°F (3°C) each week thereafter.
  • Disease Prevention: Good biosecurity, clean water, and proper ventilation are crucial for preventing common turkey diseases. Vaccination programs may be necessary depending on local risks.
  • Market Weight: The final weight of turkeys varies by breed, with broad-breasted varieties reaching 15-25 pounds (7-11 kg) or more by market age. Heritage breeds may take longer to mature.
