Effects of Three Methods of Beak Trimming on Body Weight and Mortality of Six Genetic Lines [Elektronische Daten] [D. O. NOBLE, K. K. KRUEGER, K. E. NESTOR] An experiment was designed to compare BW and mortality of turkeys when three methods of beak trimming were utilized. Turkeys from six genetic lines were assigned to three beak trimming methods: arc beak trimming at hatching, hot-blade block trimming at 13 d, or hot-blade top-beak-only trimming at 13 d. Beak trimming method influenced 8-wk BW of three lines of females, but did not affect female BW at 16 wk. Beak trimming method influenced 8-wk BW of males from one line and 16-wk BW of a different line. There were no effects of method of beak trimming on 20-wk BW of either males or females from any line. Neither lines nor beak treatments differed in mortality. © 1996 Poultry Science Association, Inc.
