Turkey Growing

Turkey Growing

We specialise in turkey production, from specific whole house brooding sites to large scale finishing turkey sites.  We grow our turkeys with the decades of knowledge from our staff and farmers alike, all doing their very best to provide only the best for our birds.

We pride ourselves in being able to produce for a continually growing all year-round market and the seasonal markets of both Easter and Christmas.  We ensure premium turkeys backed by the top-level welfare standards of the Bord Bia Quality Assurance scheme and work closely with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in the continued biosecurity on all our sites.

We operate an all in – all out policy, to ensure that the highest health status of our birds is maintained.  Frequent visits to our turkey sites are made by our field staff, where the flocks are regularly observed and weighed, to ensure good growth and development targets are achieved.

Together with our nutritionist, we specify our own feed formulation to meet our specific feed plan throughout rear.  We work closely with our feed providers to ensure excellent quality materials are used to ensure optimum development of the birds. We continually monitor for disease through veterinary guidance and provide vaccination to ensure any disease risks are reduced.  This ensures quality thrive.

We supply turkeys at three different ages, day old, five/six week old and fully grown birds.  We work closely with Edgar Transport in the delivery of our older birds that, when transferred, push to meet performance goals.  Sampling for disease control is also carried out before placement and before transfer.

Customer Back Up

Our turkey customers are very important to us. As our sales of turkeys range from day olds to five/six week olds and on to fully grown turkeys we are available to our customers for any help or advice they may require.

Breeds

Our current range of turkey breeds are white medium strain, small strain (mini) and bronze turkeys. Depending on our customer’s requirements, we are available to discuss and advise on which breed would be suitable to their individual requirement.

Day old Chicks

Our chicks are transferred by our own chick lorries from the hatchery ensuring speedy delivery and optimum chick health. We brood across the whole house with specialised turkey equipment.

Young Poults

Our turkey's are brooded on specialised brooding sites specific to the needs of the growing chick. We work closely with meal nutrition and veterinary advice to provide high growth targets and top welfare standard.
