Farmers are being urged consider the commercial advantages of choosing native breeds
Native breed turkeys have stronger leg health and more tender breast meat than commercial breeds, a new study suggests.
Eight native breed turkeys - Norfolk Black and Slate breeds - were compared to a test set of 20 commercial birds as part of the study.
Measurements were taken at 12 and 18 weeks for the commercial strains in order to benchmark meat quality in the native breeds.
Tenderness was measured as the force exerted on the sample in order to elicit a representative change in tension.
