摘要
Turkeys were fed either corn based or wheat based rations and necropsied between 28 and 118 weeks of age. Practically all birds affected with degenerative myopathy were detected among those killed between 77 and 85 weeks of age. The incidence of the disease was 0% among 125 males and 7.9% among 139 females. No significant difference in incidence was observed between birds fed corn based and birds fed wheat based rations.
