RAISING TURKEYS FOR PROFIT.
Rising turkeys should be targeted towards celebrations such as thanksgiving and Yuletide season.The production cycle is 6 months,hence a good head start will be the beginning of the year,to market at midyear.The second phase of the year can be targeted to start off and market at the end of the year.
The first step towards success is to start off with healthy poults,that are sourced from reputable hatcheries.The breed you desire is also chosen before you start venture, the large white or the broad breasted bronze.These are the common species with much preference for the broad breasted as it matures faster and reaches market weight faster.
The following should be considered when you are planning to raise turkeys;
1)source poults from reputable sources.
2) prepare the brooder house before arrival of poults. The heat must be turned on before the arrival,feeder and drinker clean and ready.
3)use clean and dry litter in the house.
4)dont raise chickens with turkeys.
5)practice the all-in-all out system.
6)ensure free air flow,proper ventilation.
7)adequate feed and water to be provided.
8)give feed with adequate protein level;
0-6/8 weeks....................28% protein.
9-12 weeks........22%protein.
13-16 weeks.....19% protein
17 weeks - market...............16% protein.
Vitamins,vaccinations and antibiotics /other medications are essential.Ensure strict bio-security protocols at all times.
