An experiment was conducted with the objective to investigate the effect of different levels of protein diets in the turkey rations. The experimental design used for the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 2x4 factorial combinations of treatments: Two levels of breed Broad Breasted White (BBW) and Broad Breasted Bronze (BBB) and four levels of diets (16%, 18%, 20% and 22%). Each treatment was replicated thrice using 24 pens consisting 120 birds. They were allowed adlib feed, water and uniform management throughout the entire experiment. The live weight, feed intake, dressing percentage, sharing of different organs were analyzed. At the end of the experiment the live weight (6.99 kg) was significantly high (p<0.01) with BBW at 16% protein in the concentrate. Highest average daily gain did not differ significantly. Similarly, cumulative feed consumption also did not differ significantly. Blood biochemical profile showed normal health condition of the turkeys with mean values of total protein, albumin, globulin and serum calcium were found to be 4.46 g/dl, 1.52 g/dl, 2.95 g/dl and 0.59g/dl respectively where non-significant interaction was observed. Looking towards the result of this experiment, it can be concluded that concentrate diet with 16% protein level has beneficiary effect on the performance of BBW turkey however further experiments are suggested to verify the results in wider scale and locations before recommending the technology on dietary requirement of turkey in our context.

“…Despite of its low production performance, it's a valuable asset for local human population. Rural families keep their poultry on a small scale within a limited area in their backyards (Adebayo and Fayeye, 2013) which significantly adds to their livelihood by providing cash income and satisfying religious, socio-cultural and nutritional needs.…”

Backyard poultry plays an important role in the livelihood of rural families in developing countries. Inspite of a source of cash income, it also satisfies their social needs. This paper is based on a study conducted in 8 villages from different zones of Rawalpindi, Pakistan to present an overview of different managerial practices in those areas. The questionnaires were filled after open discussions with respondents. The survey indicated the existence of few birds in the study area with an average flock size of 5-6 birds per household. Egg production was about 55 eggs per bird per year. Diseases, predators and lack of veterinary services were the most quoted reasons for mortality there. Only 18% families were vaccinating their birds. 40% rural women were keeping their birds in coops or under woven baskets. Daily protein consumption was low in birds as scavenging was the only feed source for most of them.
