| Özet |
| The study was conducted to determine some egg traits of white and bronze turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) reared in a free-range system. A total of 144 female turkeys (72 white and 72 bronze) were used for this study. The turkeys between 32 and 55 weeks of age were used. For measuring egg production and mortality of turkeys, egg weight, shape index, shell weight and shell thickness. In both genotypes, egg production was decreased by age. Moreover, the white turkeys were more vulnerable to free-range conditions in terms of legs problems and consequent liability. The white turkeys laid heavier eggs than the bronze ones (88.7 g vs 80.27, P<0.05). All determined egg parameters were different in the white turkeys compared to those in the bronze turkeys. Furthermore, as animals were getting older, egg weight of both white and bronze turkeys were increased. However, their shell weight and thickness were … |
