Effects of nutrient density on growth and carcass traits in fast- and slow-feathering female turkeys
2004
Poultry Science
Chickens have been sexed based on feather development at hatching for many years, but the slowfeathering gene has only recently been incorporated into a commercial line of turkeys. Female turkeys of a fastand a slow-feathering strain were compared with regard to BW, gain, and carcass composition to 29 wk of age. A total of 432 fast-feathering (FF) and 432 slow-feathering (SF) poults were reared to 198 d on a control (CON) or a high-energy, high-protein (HIGH) diet. Data concerning BW and
