The turkeys were fed by commercial feed, 50 % forage and feed on pasture for 18 weeks. At the end of the fattening period, average live weight of commercial, 50 % forage and feed on pasture were found as 10714 ± 282, 9260 ± 186 and 7652 ± 164 g, respectively, and the differences among the means were signifcant (P<0.01). The mean differences of live weight and live weight gain at the frst 6 weeks were not signifcant for feeding methods (P>0.05). Differences in live weight were found statistically signifcant between groups (P<0.01). Differences in live weight were found statistically signifcant among all feeding methods at 10-18 week old turkey (P<0.01). Mean differences in live weight gain were found signifcant between forage feed- fed on pasture in eighth, twelfth, fourteenth and eighteenth weeks (P<0.05; P<0.01). Differences in live weight gain were found signifcant among all feeding methods in tenth week. The mean differences in live weight gain were signifcant between forage fed and 50 %-fed on pasture in sixteenth week. As a result, different feeding methods had signifcant effect on live weight and live weight gain at 8th week of age and thereafter.    }, number={2}
