Effects of feed form (mash vs. pellets) on turkey hens performance
Published:March 10, 2025
John Boney (Penn State University) discusses performance, body weight, and feed conversion ratio when feeding mash compared to pellets in this Engormix interview during IPPE 2025 in Atlanta, USA.
Interesting results. Compared to a 1050 micron particle size mash diet, what are the costs to produce a? - High quality pelleted diet: 90% pellet; 10% mash - Industry standard quality pelleted diet: 60% pellet; 40% mash?
In turkeys, the use of high density energy diet so it is not easy to get a firm pellet. Boney is right to search for new feeding responses in this turkey´s genetic stirpes. I have seen Dr. Boney web seminars at Penn St Univ and wishing to attend more technical updates.
