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.

This study’s objective was to evaluate the effect of the fermented soybean meal (FSBM) on Salmonella typhimurium (ST) to turkey poults using two models of infection. In the prophylactic model, one-day-old turkeys were randomly allocated to one of four different groups (n = 30 turkeys/group): (1) Control group, (2) FSBM group, (3) Control group challenged with ST (Control + ST), and (4) FSBM group challenged with ST (FSBM + ST). On day 9 of age, all poults were orally challenged with 106 colony forming units (CFU) ST and 24 h post-inoculation, intestinal samples were collected to determine ST recovery and morphometric analysis. Blood samples were collected to evaluate serum fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-d). In the therapeutic model, a similar experimental design was used, but turkeys were orally gavaged 104 CFU ST on day 1, and samples were collected at day 7. FSBM improved performance and reduced leaky gut in both experimental infective models. In the prophylactic model, FSBB induced morphology changes in the mucosa. Although the strains (Lactobacillus salivarius and Bacillus licheniformis) used for the fermentation process showed in vitro activity against ST, no significant effect was observed in vivo. The fermentation with different beneficial bacteria and different inclusion rates of FSBM requires further investigation.
