Abstract
This experiment was conducted using 378 male and female turkey poults, organized into 9 treatments with 3 replicates (14 birds per experimental unit), following a factorial arrangement within a completely randomized design. The study evaluated three levels of metabolizable energy and three levels of crude protein over a period spanning from 0 to 16 weeks of age. Dietary metabolizable energy and protein levels significantly influenced energy and protein utilization efficiency as well as feed cost (P
