The Objectives of the Performance Goals

British United Turkeys Limited (B.U.T.) first began publishing performance goals for

its stock in 1965. Since that time, the goals have achieved strong credibility for being

realistic data, which can be used in several ways as a management tool.

These include:-

a) Business. The data can be used by accountants and business managers indrawing up financial budgets.

b) Farm Management. Comparisons of actual results against the goals willprovide useful information on farm management efficiencies.

c) Problem solving. The first stage to solving a problem is to describe the

problem accurately. A comparison of the actual results against the goals will

enable the problem areas to be highlighted. This will often be a good indicator

of the aspects to be investigated or improved.

The booklet also includes additional technical information, which can help provide

solutions to problems.

The Basis of the Performance Goals

The performance goals are an estimate of the results which can be achieved under

1. House Preparation Check List:a) Thoroughly power wash/steam to remove all traces of organic matter.

b) Disinfect, ensuring correct concentration and total wetting.c) Fumigate or fog.d) Check the operation of all equipment.e) Add litter (8 cm deep) which should be dry absorbent material free from dust,

moulds, preservatives and pesticides.

f) Erect surrounds 4.5 m (15) diameter per 300 350 poults.g) Equipment per surround:

1 Brooder 4.7 kW

3 Automatic drinkers

4 Font type drinkers

4 Tube feeders

4 Feed Trays

c) Too much activity or noise in the house will encourage crowding, especially wherewire surrounds are used.

d) The ideal brooding system is a combination of space heating, spot heating andventilation. The poults will act as the most accurate thermometer in determining

their comfort.

(i) Temperature too high.

(ii) Temperature too low.

(iii) Draughts, noise, activity.

The poults move well away from the brooder,

congregating around the circumference of

the surround. In extreme cases they pant and

their wings droop.

The poults cry and crowd together, jostling

for position under the brooder.

A programme of 2hrs L / 2hrs D x 6 may be used up to the age of 6 weeks.

In open houses one at night can programme 2 periods extinction of 3 hours eachseparated by an hour of light. The lights should always come on before dawn and go

off after sunset. This is particularly true in winter.

This can be followed by a gradual increase to 6-10 hours dark and 14-18 hours light.

Where males are kept to 20-21 weeks the period of dark can be reduced as the birds

approach slaughter.

The other more traditional system would be to start the flock on continuous light for

the first 36 hours before moving to a 14L / 10D regime. This can also have a reduction

in darkness towards the end of the life of the flock.

4. Intensity

To D.O. 36 hours, 100 lux then a reduction of about 1/6thper day to achieve 5 lux at 7

days. Intensities thereafter should be increased after 3-4 weeks but only as long as

welfare is not compromised.

5. Stocking DensityStocking density will depend on local welfare recommendations. These will have

taken into consideration the proposed slaughter age of the hens in mixed houses or the

carbon dioxide, ammonia, excess water vapour and other pollutants are removed, as

well as providing adequate oxygen requirements.

Target maximum concentrations for pollutants are:

Carbon Dioxide 0.4%

Ammonia 20ppm

Relative Humidity 70%

9. Water ConsumptionWater consumption is directly correlated to several environmental factors and is often

doubled in temperatures of 36C. Feed and health also significantly effect

consumption, which monitored on a daily basis, can provide an early warning of

impending problems. Turkeys normally consume 2.2 times the amount of water

(litres) as the do feed. This varies with age.

Feed Programmes - Key Points

Commercial Turkeys

Aim to achieve target growth curves particularly in the first 6 weeks of life. Growth

lost early in life can be difficult to recover at older ages under commercial conditions.

Attention to amino acid intake is important at all ages. Do not widen the amino acid :

energy ratio too quickly as birds get older. Insufficient amino acid intake, particularly

after 14 weeks of age can adversely affect both body weight and breast meat yield.

Ensure that management factors do not adversely affect feed intake. This includes

feeder and drinker availability, spacing and adjustment particularly when stocking

density is high. Whenever feed intake is depressed, be prepared to increase amino acid

: energy ratios to maintain amino acid intake.

Attention should also be paid to the quality of dietary protein. The inclusion of

fishmeal in diets for young turkeys, where permitted under local regulations, helps to

improve the amino acid balance and reduce the risks from over reliance on Soya. Theuse of ingredients with protein of poor digestibility should be restricted. Excess or

undigested protein will be excreted causing an increased litter ammonia concentration.

This may increase the incidence of breast condemnations or cause environmental

nuisance.

Table C5 Nutrient : Energy Ratios For Growing Turkeys

The Table below shows requirement values for nutrients for growing turkeys expressed in relation to the Metabolizable Energy

content of the feed (g nutrient/MJ ME). These values apply for conditions where temperature, stocking density and pellet quality

do not depress feed intake.

For hens, BUT research has not indicated a need to feed the sexes differently up to 8 weeks of age. Thereafter, diets formulated to

meet the recommended nutrient : energy ratios for males can be used for hens in a modified feed programme (see Table C6)

Suggested uses for each diet are given inTable C6.

This shows the use of the recommended nutrient : energy ratios above to calculate the required level of inclusion of each nutrient

in the diet according to the level of Metabolizable Energy.
