Abstract

The basic objectives of this study are to predict least-cost rations and most profitable, or optimum, marketing weights for turkeys. Necessary information in attaining this final objective, the first step is one of predicting the feed-gain production function. From the production function, in turn, it is necessary to predict the gain isoquants showing the possible combinations of feed which will produce turkeys
