How to Start Profitable Turkey Farming
Turkey farming is a viable alternate to chicken farming. In India, commercial turkey farming is increasingly popular .Mainly it depends on meat, eggs as well as growing as a pet.
Turkey will produce a lot of meat and it's very good business to earn a high profit. Compared to the broiler chickens and pig, they develop quickly and are ready for slaughter sooner. The weather conditions in India are very suitable for growing turkeys commercially .If we maintain good care and management, we can achieve success in turkey farming.
