4 Month Old Foreign Turkeys (BBW) Highlights

  • Broad Breasted White (BBW) Turkeys: Broad Breasted White turkeys are a popular commercial breed known for their rapid growth and high meat yield. They are specifically developed for efficient meat production.
  • Growth Rate: BBW turkeys are bred for fast growth, reaching market weight in approximately 14-20 weeks. This makes them a relatively quick turnaround for meat production.
  • Dietary Needs: Young turkeys require a high-protein starter feed, gradually transitioning to grower and finisher feeds. Access to clean water is crucial at all stages.
  • Housing Requirements: Turkeys need dry, well-ventilated housing with adequate space to prevent overcrowding and disease. Protection from predators and extreme weather is essential.
  • Meat Quality: BBW turkeys are prized for their large breast size and tender meat, making them a favored choice for holiday meals and general consumption.
  • Breeding Considerations: While BBW turkeys are excellent for meat production, they are not typically bred for egg-laying or as heritage breeds. Their focus is on rapid meat development.
