Interesting. My father raised broilers. He was at one time the longest tenured grower for Golden Plump. I recall him sharing when he first started growing birds it was all about disinfecting, cleanliness, and between the flocks the barn was cleaned with excruciating detail. That became less important in time, and less taxing. A while after that - it even got to the point when a new barn was built - before they ever put birds in the barn - they would take manure from our barn and spread the manure on everything. Floor, walls, ceiling. The thought process they got to over the years is than an established barn had more benefit of natural immunity than any benefit they could ever attain with intense disinfecting activity. Anyway, thought I would share. Enjoy the birds!
As long as it's a viable seed it will work. We don't believe a seed like a popcorn kernel purchased from a store will work, however. If you'd like to try this activity out, we have sample seeds that we can supply to you. Email us at info@iowaagliteracy.org.
I love these birds! I wanna squeeze them! I’m used to being around horses never owned one did weekly lessons though. So turkeys are nothing bad to be around just like being around horses!
studied agricultural engineering lots of years ago. good video Ron. stay healthy man. How many turkeys do you have -year round. How long is the timeframe for growing the turkey. Do you buy young ones or are you breeding them ?
You really believe this is a healthy environment. Doesn't matter how many precautions you take. System that breeds disease. Zoonotic illness. They need to get out and forage for their health and human health.
The lending library looks interesting. I like how items are in Spanish and English. Items could be used at home since they are also online. Grants/scholarships are a great opportunity for teachers and students.
