Smolík, Martin ; Tůmová, Eva (advisor) ; Chodová, Darina (referee)
The goal of thesis was to create a literature review that will evaluate the influence of genotype, sex and age on growth, carcass yield and composition of meat turkeys. Genotype is one of the most important factors for growth, which is reflected already in the prenatal stage and then continues in the postnatal stage. And at the age of 20 weeks, differencis between males and famale are 35% in temrs of males. Sex plays important, role brouse male turkeys have a significantly higher growth rate. Changing the speed growth also depends on age. Carcass yield moves in broiler turkeys between 76-83%, genotype affects carcass yield and greatly affects the weight of the breast and thighs. Sex determinate primarily weight of valuable parts. Carcase composition varies depending on age. Turkey meat is considered to be good quality with a high content of nutrients. Turkey breast contains 22.6% protein and only 1.7 fat. Effect of genotype on the composition of turkey meat is in the representation of protein and fat. Protein and fat content also depends on sex. Meat composition varies depending on age.
