Thanks to consumer interest in animal welfare issues, nutrition, and taste, there has been a growing demand for turkeys that have been pastured. This new ATTRA publication, Pastured Turkey Production, introduces the concept of raising turkeys on pasture and the many considerations related to breed selection, housing, nutrition, welfare, processing, and marketing.

In addition to addressing growing public awareness about animal welfare, environmental issues, and local food systems, pastured turkeys are excellent foragers and can help restore fertility to pastures through application of manure. This publication by NCAT agriculture specialist Kevin Ellis guides you in making turkey production profitable for you and your land.
