• Turkeys should be fed nutritionally balanced diets for healthy growth and development and to ensure that there is enough protein, calories, minerals, and fat to meet the turkey’s nutritional requirements.
• Each type of feed includes the proper balance of protein, energy, fiber, fat, and other elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamins.

Turkey Feeding

Turkey is reared either for meat or kept as breeders for hatching young turkey (Poults). However, in feeding turkeys which are to be marketed as meat, three diets are used which are starter, grower and finisher diets.

Thus Vantage turkey feeds are of three types capturing the nutritional needs for the different stages of growth of the animal. We have:

• Turkey starter diet ( fed from 0-8 weeks of age)
• Turkey grower diet (fed from 8-16 weeks of age)
• Turkey finisher diet (fed from 16-24 weeks of age)

All three diets are in mash form and should be fed ad libitum and alone to turkeys from day old till 24 weeks of age.

• Note that the above feed intakes are only indicative. The data will vary based on season, sex of the bird, lighting, shed conditions, disease status, and other environmental conditions.
• The house should be ideal for turkey rearing and should be cleaned thoroughly and regularly.
• Clean, cool, fresh water should be available at all times. Any wet litter near water points should be removed regularly.
• It is highly advisable that chicken feed shouldn't be used as a substitute for turkey feed. The protein and calcium requirements between the two kinds of birds are completely different. Turkeys, for instance, require higher levels of protein in their feed.
