The impact of graded levels of stocking density (SD) on the performance, health, and welfare, of Nicholas Select turkey hens raised from day 0 to 11 weeks of age were evaluated in this study. Poults (n=3550/block; randomized complete design with block as trial) were randomly placed into one of four final estimated SD treatments of 30, 40, 50, or 60 kg/m2 based on final predicted body weight at 11 weeks of age. Birds were housed in open rooms (67.5m2) with a total of four replications per treatment. Feeder and drinker space were equalized on a per bird basis. Based on CO2 and ammonia measures, ventilation was adjusted to equalize air quality across all treatments. Productivity was evaluated by measuring group body weight and feed consumption...
