“…The results show that the use of forced ventilation in turkeys' rearing environment may is a good strategy to reduce heat stress, as previously suggested for broiler chickens in literature (Mitchell & Kelley, 1983;Timmons andHillman,1993;Bottcher & Czarick,1997;Czarick & Lacy, 1999;Aradas et al, 2005;Hurwitz et al, 1980;Cavalchini, 1985;Yahav et al, 1995;Martrenchar, 1999;Teeter & Belay, 1996).…”

“…Birds housed in artificial habitats face a wide range of potentially harmful environmental challenges, such as temperature, relative humidity, air quality, and wind speed (Hurwitz et al, 1980;Yahav et al, 1995;Teeter & Belay, 1996;Martrenchar, 1999;Morgan & Tromborg, 2007). Turkeys, like most birds, need high environmental temperature immediately after hatching, while optimal temperature ranges are 25-35 °C and 15-21 °C for 8-wk-old and 12-24-wk-old turkeys, respectively (Yahav et al, 2011).…”

“…Similarly, Hughes and Wood-Gush (1977) observed laying hens engaged in more aggressive head pecking in groups of six rather than three hens. Martrenchar (1999) suggested this evidence from laying hens may also explain the high incidence of injurious pecking amongst commercial turkeys in free-run flocks of thousands of birds. However, unlike the other forms of injurious pecking, rates of aggressive head pecking in turkeys are affected by bird familiarity.…”

“…An inherent need to peck may be too simplistic to explain this abnormal behaviour. It appears severe feather pecking and cannibalism, like all forms of injurious pecking in turkeys, are controlled by multiple influences from the environment, diet, and underlying genetic make-up (Martrenchar, 1999;Sherwin et al, 1999). The type of forage provided may not have satisfied turkey preference, but likely the notion of a pre-determined pecking requirement is more complex (Hughes and Grigor, 1996;Busayi et al, 2006).…”
