Popis: Wheat and corn respectively were used as the principal cereal in turkey poult starting rations. The results of three experiments indicate that advantage may be taken of the relatively high protein content of wheat. By using wheat and taking into consideration the additional protein thus provided, a saving may be effected in the amount of supplementary protein required. Turkey poults grew at similar rates when fed starting rations of similar content whether the main cereal constituent of the rations was wheat or corn.
