• Good practices that prevent disease and promote good health and production, as presented in the management guide/manual will support good animal welfare.
• To safeguard the health of the turkeys and consumers, producers must have a strict bio security programme designed to prevent poultry from being exposed to infectious diseases.
• The male domestic turkeys are referred to as Toms/Stags while female domestic turkeys are referred to as hens, and the chicks are known as poults/turkey-lings.
• At maturity, they attain good market weights and are great for table consumption (often considered healthier than dark meat because of its lower fat content).
• We have turkey poults (turkey chicks) available every Monday and Thursday.
• Remember to get your turkey house ready with brooder, drinkers, and feeders.
• Keep turkey pens well heated/warmed  and fumigated before introduction of new poults.
