Broad Breasted Bronze male turkeys, 20 weeks of age, were fed all mash finishing diets with and without whole rape seed as an energy source. Whole rape seed, at a level of 22.8 per cent, was substituted for all of the soybean oil meal and part of the ground wheat in the ration. Each treatment was replicated six times with 12 male turkeys per replicate. At the end of the 4-week feeding period the following results were evident: 1) no statistically significant differences in feed conversion (P > 0.05), and 2) highly significant improvements in carcass finish and live weight gains (P < 0.01) for those birds receiving the diet containing whole rape seed.
