Abstract
The experiment was conducted in the animal production fields of the Animal Production Department - College of Agriculture - University of Tikrit for the period from 2016 \ 12 \ to 2017 \ 3 \ 11. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the use of corn gluten in the grower diets on the performance of turkeys. In this experiment 72 turkey, turkeys were used at the age of 28 days. These broilers were randomly distributed at 12 replicates, 6 broilers per replicate, with 4 treatments. The experiment lasted for 84 days and was divided into 6 production periods (14 days) and feeding was free. The first treatment (T1) included a basic diet without the use of any substance, the second treatment (T2), the third (T3) and the fourth (T4), which were included the use of 5% 10% and 15% corn gluten in the diet respectively. The results of body weight showed that at age,70 98 and 112 days there was a significant decrease (P <0.05) for the treatment of T3 compared to the T1 and at age 56 days, T3 was significantly higher (P <0.05) than T1. For the mean weight gain a significant decrease (P <0.05) was found in T3 at the ages 57-70, 85-98, 99-112 and 29-112 days compared to T1. For the feed consumption, the results of T3 showed a significant decrease (P <0.05) in all ages compared to control treatment.
