D4-Uncuter Fanning. Saturday, April 12, 1997 (Continued from Pan* D 2) Nipple systems, made by Chore-Time®, Plasson®, and Zig gity®, were compared with the traditional bell-open watering sys tem. In the study, the turkeys were brooded four weeks in one pen and then mov ( ed into different pens at a lower bird density to simulate the conditions of brooding and finish ing commonly used in the turkey industry. Feed consumption, water consumption, feed conversion, and body weight were recorded at reg ular times during the growing Oswalt's New Hay Saw™ Processor - Turns long stemmed hay into a blended and highly digestible dairy ration You control the length of cut by simply regulating the mixing time Save time and fuel, and extend auger life Available on most Oswalt Models OSWALT Mixers by J-STAR PENNSYLVANIA ERB & HENRY EQUIPMENT INC.

Significant differences were found for water consumption start ing at five weeks of age and for body weight at four weeks of age between one of the three nipple systems and the bell watering sys tem. Differences in body weight were found at 11 and 16 weeks of age between birds raised on the bell watering system and all three of the nipple watering systems. The 16-week average body weights for the controls or bell sys tem were 31 pounds for males and 23 pounds for females.

The birds on the best performing nipple system had body weights that were 0.5 kg less (1.1 pounds) for males and 0.4 kg less (.8 pound) for female turk eys at sixteen weeks when com pared with the respective males and females on the bell water foun tains. The differences in body weight were found to be directly related to water consumption dif ferences between the water foun tain systems. That is, the systems, that had the greatest water con sumption, had the greatest body weights. In conclusion, growth perfor mance using turkey nipple drink ers with higher water flows were shown to be effective in this study and in field trials to seven weeks of age.
