Abstract
A series of experiments was conducted to examine protein and energy
utilization in growing and breeding turkeys, and to investigate the impact
of body weight restriction on subsequent reproductive performance. In
the first experiment, dietary self-selection of energy and protein and
feed restriction were studied in growing turkeys. Body weight of males
and females was significantly reduced by feed restriction. Protein
efficiency was significantly lower in self-selecting males and females.
Feed restriction significantly reduced the carcass yield of males, but
not females.
