Two trials were conducted in which male turkeys from commercial Strains A and B were fed diets calculated to contain 80, 100, or 120% of recommended levels of protein from 1 to 8 wk of age and recommended levels of protein at other ages. Feeding reduced protein diets decreased 8-wk BW of both strains. No difference in BW, however, was evident at 17 wk in either strain. Dietary protein level generally did not influence overall feed to gain ratios, feed intake, or behaviors of male turkeys from these two strains. Effects of dietary protein level on walking ability were inconclusive. The results of the present study indicate that it may be possible to reduce early dietary protein levels with savings in feed cost for male turkeys with no adverse effects on growth or feed conversion at market age. |
