Slaughter turkey

Turkeys need a stable temperature and good air circulation. Adequate ventilation prevents the accumulation of moisture and toxic gases, and temperature control – adapted to age and growth stage – benefits health and breeding performance.

The diet of turkeys must be carefully balanced in terms of protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. Depending on the stage of development, specialized feed additives can be introduced to promote growth, improve digestibility and immunity, resulting in better condition and production performance.

Additives that improve digestibility and support the immune system, such as probiotics, prebiotics, as well as supplementation with vitamins (e.g. vitamin D) and minerals, are recommended for feeding turkeys. The right choice of additives allows for optimal utilization of nutrients in the diet.

The most common problems include respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disorders and stress from poor environmental conditions. Regular veterinary checks, the use of vaccination programs and maintaining high standards of hygiene help prevent these problems from occurring.

Bioassurance includes restricting unauthorized access, implementing disinfection procedures, quarantining new individuals and regular health checks. These measures help effectively minimize the risk of infection and the spread of disease.
