Abstract

Normal (NC) and high-oil (HOC) corns were compared in isocaloric diets of growing turkeys during 6 to 21 wk of age. Body weight (BW) fell behind with HOC during 6 to 15 wk, possibly due to the higher animal fat levels with NC diets. At 21 wk BW of turkeys fed NC and HOC were similar. HOC resulted in reduced breast yield and abdominal fat (P<.05), more linoleic acid in meat (P<.01), and greater protection against oxidative rancidity during refrigerator storage (P=.07).
