Modelling of animal growth is a topic with resurgent interest in the past few years little work has been performed in terms of modeling growth response and nutrient requirements of turkeys. A variety of factors may affect performance modeling of turkeys. These include genetic potential, sex, lean tissue accretion, feed intake, feedstuff digestibility, environmental conditions, variation and parts yield. The current state of turkey modeling is discussed as well as possible directions for the future.

Key Words: Turkey • modeling • growth • tissue accretion • nutrient requirements
