Abstract

The poultry production is a very delicate concept, they are very tender and sensitive to the lack of vitamins, minerals and proteins, and especially the amino acid composition. The appropriate amount of protein and balanced composition of amino acids are one of the prerequisites for intensive growth of young turkeys. A total of 30 heads of Domestic Turkey breed (white and black) was grown under the so-called indoor farming system in Pelagonia region, North Macedonia in the period of 2017-2018 year. The aim of this research was to determine the differences in the body weight, in the period of 10- 90 days, and the carcass performances of turkeys fed with two different concepts in relation to the
origin of feed proteins (group R - fed with fish flour and group S - fed with whey powder). In our study, regarding the live body weight of turkeys from both groups in the period of 90 days, a significant statistical difference between the two groups marked with R and S for different feeding intervals (p <0.05) was performed. Slaughtering parameters in both groups R and S show that there is no significant difference between the two groups of turkeys (p> 0.05). The results obtained from our study would be an initiative for a further research of this type and will be of great benefit to farmers in our country.
Key words: Domestic Turkey, Growth, Fish flour, Whey powder, Pelagonia region
