OCAL TURKEYS

The scientific name of Turkey is Meleagris gallopavo, Local turkeys can also be known as Nigeria turkey.

They have good feed conversion ratio with very high resistance to diseases. They can perform optimally under free range system. Local turkeys are more hardy than foreign turkeys and even good grazer, in fact they like water leaf and pawpaw.

Brooding in Turkey Production

Day-old turkey are brooded for 4 weeks or to about 6 weeks in the cold period. Gas brooder or infra-red bulb could be used as a source of heat or the traditional brooding systems such as coal stoves could be adopted.

Turkeys are not the best starters in their life and will really need some tender loving care to get them safely through the first four weeks of life. The average mortality rate is 6-10% during this period. Young turkey by nature are reluctant to eat and drink in the first few days of life, primarily because of bad eyesight and nervousness. Hence, they have to be force-fed.

Basic things to know in turkey production

  • Male turkeys are raised separately from the female for best performance.
