Abstract
In the raw material zone of baby food producers in the Krasnodar Territory, a large Ermakov farm supplies turkey to the Branch “Plant of canned meat for children Tikhoretsky JSC “Danon Russia”. According to the results of the slaughter of five-month-old turkey of two crosses, White broad-breasted and Hybrid Converter, high indicators of meat productivity were established: slaughter yield (81.2 and 85.0 %), yield of meat suitable for baby food 62 % and 65 % , the yield of white breast meat - 23 and 25 %, respectively, for the White broad-breasted and Hybrid Converter crosses. In terms of meat yield from five-month-old turkeys, the advantage of the Hybrid Converter cross has been proven. On the basis of the studies carried out, it can be concluded that the meat of the turkey of the White broad-breasted and Hybrid Converter crosses have a high biological value in terms of chemical and amino acid composition.

Summary
The market demand for lean turkey meat determines the great potential for increasing the production of dietary poultry meat [1]. According to BusinesStat estimates, from 2015 to 2020, sales of turkey meat in Russia increased by 40 % [3,4,5]. With relatively low costs in the industrial and farm conditions of the Krasnodar Territory, it is possible to fully satisfy the demand for dietary meat and produce baby food products from the meat of the best adapted crosses. Most pediatricians recommend the inclusion of turkey meat in the diet of children at an early age (8-10 months) as one of the first foods because of the high levels of protein, haem iron and zinc in muscle tissue [4]. Turkey meat is rich in vitamin B12, folic acid, selenium, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus. The recommended daily (or dietary) allowance (RDA) for selenium for adults is 0.055 mg / day, while the WHO and FAO have set the daily tolerated dose at the rate of 0.4 mg / day [7]
