Turkey

The Turkey sector is one of the most innovative in the poultry industry. Rapid strides in breeding and processing have resulted in a wide range of ways to use this healthy low fat meat.

Optivite has worked with major breeding companies and turkey farms around the world to ensure that we have the correct diets and feeding programmes to give the most cost effective live performance tailored to individual markets.

In most counties feed still represents 70% of the cost of production so Optivite's expertise in all aspects of turkey feed production is of relevance to all turkey production enterprises.

Optivite products of particular interest for turkey production are:

Vitamin Mineral Premixes to ensure the correct micronutrient levels in diets.

Genex Poultry to ensure optimum nutrient utilisation and provide a cost effective alternative to antibiotic growth promoters. Genex can lead to improvements in growth rate of up to 500 grams per bird and improvements in FCR of up to 0.2.

To reduce microbial levels in feeds leading to improved biosecurity use Salgard and Moldgard antibacterial products.

Specialist Fats to improve the nutrient value of feeds and add value by improving product quality, see Optifats.

Optomega for Poultry omega-3 fatty acid supplement has been shown through continued research and development to improve many of the key production parameters and to increase profitability and efficiency.
