Nail Removal

Broiler-type turkey poults were placed sex-separate in floor pens (60 birds/pen; ca. 5.5/m2) of an environment-controlled house. All birds received corn-soybean meal based rations paralleling commercial practice. Treatments were imposed at 5 wk of age and involved either debeaking alone (controls) or its combination with toenail-clipping (6 pens/sex/treatment). Body weight of nail-clipped turkeys was less at 6 and 10 wk than found with controls; however, the converse was observed by slaughter at 14 wk. Conversion of feed consumed during the 6 to 10- and 10 to 14-wk intervals was more efficient with nail-clipped than control birds. Mortality was similar between both groups from starting through to the finishing period whereupon noticeably fewer deaths occurred with nail-clipped as opposed to control turkeys. Dressed carcass yield was greater when nail removal was performed than not. A 40% reduced incidence of utility grades indirectly suggested that this yield advantage was due to less "on the line" trimming during processing. Conformation, fleshing and finish grades were unaltered. Both sexes responded comparably. All advantages arising as a consequence of toenail-clipping could be explained in terms of reduced flock activity.
