Abstract

The good qualities combined with the high economic efficiency are the factors for increasing the
production and consumption of turkey meat worldwide. Turkeys is becoming an increasingly popular
source for poultry meat. Undoubtedly, such a great advance in breeding improves the profitability
of turkeys rearing and makes the meat of this species a food product available to an ever increasing
group of consumers. There is no large production of broiler turkeys in Bulgaria, the small amount
being grown only on private farms. In recent years, there has been a decrease in the number of
turkeys, with meat consumption per capita being around 0.5 kg. Despite many attempts, our country
is still unable to organize a sufficiently efficient production of turkey meat, which is a prerequisite for
an increase in imports of turkeys products.
