Effects of brooding periods on performance of poults and grow-out small bronze turkeys in hot humid tropical environment.

A study was conducted to determine the effects of varied brooding regimes on the performance of small bronze turkey poults and their grow-outs. One hundred and twenty (n = 120) poults were subjected to four brooding regimes of 0-5, 0-6, 0-7, and 0-8 weeks, designated as T, T, T, and T. Each brooding regime (treatment) was applied to 3 replicates of 10 poults/replicate in a completely randomized design.
