Özet
The Effect of Intermittent Feeding on the Performance and Stress Related Parameters of Turkey TomsThe objective of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent feeding on growth performance and stress related parameters of turkey toms from a heavy commercial line.Lighting schedule was 14L:10D during the experiment.In intermittent group, cyclic 2h duration of feeding was applied to birds during daily photophase from day 10.Body weight, body weight gain and feed consumption didn't differ with treatment.The restricted group had improved FCR between 10-17 d.Significantly higher basophile numbers were observed in restricted group at 12 d.At 28 d, heterophils were significantly (P<0.05) and H/L ratios were numerically higher in restricted group, while eosinophils lower than ad libitum group (P<0.05).Leucocyte responses to intermittent feeding showed the severe stress effect of intermittent feeding on turkeys at start and a mild stress at 28 d and no effect of feeding onward.These results may refer that turkey toms adapted to feeding manipulation by six wk.Feeding, didn't affect tonic immobility, shank growth and walking ability.
