The turkey females were randomly distributed on four groups, each group consisted of 12 birds depend on strain. The strains as follow, (T1): red turkey strain, (T2): bronze turkey strain, (T3): white turkey strain, (T4): black turkey strain. Each group constituted from 3 replicates and each replicate has 4 females. All birds housed under same environmental conditions. Feed and water were available (ad libitum) for all the period. Birds were fed on diet contains 20% crude protein and 2950 Kcal metabolic energy / kg through the experimental period. The flock was reared in a ground cages (pens) during the experiment period. Eggs were collected twice daily. Black turkey strain achieved the highest results, whereas the red strain recorded the lowest results in all traits measured in this study, also white turkey strain had superior on bronze turkey strain in all traits. Results revealed that strain had Significant effected on egg production rate, cumulative eggs number, egg weight, egg mass and feed conversion ratio, but, there was no significant effected for strain on feed intake.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
