A trial was conducted to study the performance of male broiler turkeys fed diets with triticale replaced for corn at the levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Each diet was fed to five groups of twelve male birds each. The diets were provided isocaloric and isonitrogenous for each period of 30- 53, 54-83, 84-94 and 95-116 d of age. Feed and water were fed adlibitum. Similar weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion observed in birds fed control or diets contained up to 75% triticale replaced for corn. However, the average daily weight gain decreased, feed intake and feed conversion increased when 100% of corn was replaced with triticale during all periods (P<0.05). Although, carcass yield decreased in birds fed triticale contained diets, small intestine and large intestine weight and blood serum TG increased, whereas serum HDL and LDL decreased when measured at 116 d of age (P < 0.05). This study revealed that the turkey producers may substitute up to 75% of the corn with triticale in grower and finisher diets without adverse effect on performance.
