The performance objectives are an estimate of the results that can be achieved under conditions found in large commercial operations.

In very favourable conditions, such as those found with very small flock sizes and where there is ample housing, optimum ventilation and feed availability, the results achieved could exceed the objectives significantly.

The objectives apply to temperate conditions. Results will be depressed in the summers of countries with Mediterranean or tropical climates.

Nutrition has a major influence on performance. The basis of the objectives presume diets following AviagenÂŽ Turkeys (Nicholas) recommendations, fed as good quality crumbs, mini pellets and pellets in accordance with our latest guidelines.

As performance can be affected by various factors existing in particular operations, these objectives (or advice) cannot and should not be regarded as a form of guarantee and Aviagen Turkeys Limited accepts no liability in relation to your use of this information.
