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.
