Özet

This experiment was conducted to evaluate growth performance of five turkey genotypes, namely American Bronze (AB), Large White (LW) and their crosses F(1), F(2) and backcross to LW (BC(1)). The five genotypes were compared for body weight, feed conversion ratio and livability and were reared either under intensive (IMG) or semi-intensive (SIMG) management conditions. The assessment was carried out using performance records from 0 to 18 wk for IMG and 0 to 25 week for the SIMG.
