title: [Creation of a stress-free laying pause in turkeys with TURISYNCHRON].
abstract: Metallibure (TURISYNCHRON, VEB Jenapharm, GDR) at 40 mg per kg of food, given for 14 days, completely suppressed laying, and in a shorter time than that produced by conventional methods. Turkeys tolerated TURISYNCHRON well, and no adverse effects were seen. Egg production after TURISYNCHRON treatment was higher than that of untreated controls. This preliminary trial will be followed by more extensive trials.
