Reproductive performance of Beltsville small White and Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys (<italic>Meleagris gallopavo</italic>) under hot humid climatic condition

Abstract: The study was conducted to compare the reproductive performance of Beltsville Small White and Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys (<italic>Meleagris gallopavo</italic>) under the hot humid climatic condition. Beltsville Small White and Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys were raised in an intensive production system under standard management practices. A total of 560 Beltsville Small White turkey eggs and 520 Broad Breasted Bronze turkey eggs were used for this study. Average egg weight (g), infertile eggs (%)… Show more

“…The highest embryo mortality rates of local turkey were noted at the late stage of incubation (16.12%), lower mortality rates were reported at the first (6.45 %) and second incubation stage (3.87%). The highest mortality reported in this experiment was agreed than noted by Anna Anandh and Richard Jagatheesan (2015) that the high mortality occurred during late periods of incubation. Hocking et al (2007) also reported that high embryonic mortalities values were found in traditional management system.…”
