TLDR
In a series of experiments with developing turkeys, Touchburn and Naber (1966) clearly demonstrated that dietary fat improved utilization of metabolizable energy and obtained evidence that a wider calorie : protein ratio could be tolerated when fat was added to the ration than when no fat was used.

The Energy Requirements and Performance of Growing Chickens and Turkeys as Affected by Environmental Temperature

Shmuel Hurwitz, +7 more
- 01 Oct 1980 - 
TL;DR: In turkeys, weight gain at 12 C was inferior to that at 18 C for both sexes, and the calculated amino acid per kilocalorie dietary requirements for 6-week-old chicks increased with temperature to a peak at 27 C, followed by a decrease as the temperature was raised further.

Fat Deposition in Broilers: Effect of Dietary Energy to Protein Balance, and Early Life Caloric Restriction on Productive Performance and Abdominal Fat Pad Size

L. Griffiths, +2 more
- 01 Mar 1977 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that the degree of calorie restriction was not of sufficient magnitude to influence adipocyte hyperplasia, and the effect of dietary energy to protein balance, and early life caloric restriction on abdominal fat pad development in the male broiler chicken was studied.

Effects of Dietary Saturated or Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Calcium Levels on Performance and Mineral Metabolism of Broiler Chicks

J. O. Atteh, +1 more
- 01 Nov 1984 - 
TL;DR: Although all fatty acids tested formed soap in the small intestine, soap of oleic acid were efficiently utilized as opposed to soaps of palmitic acid, and there was a significant interaction between type of fatty acid and calcium level on bone magnesium content.

Utilization of Fats and Fatty Acids by Turkey Poults

S. Leeson, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of fat-supplemented diets on poults' bone mineral retention and found that fat-containing diets can lead to increased soap formation in young white male turkeys.

A Comparison of Eight Grades of Fat as Broiler Feed Ingredients

Gene M. Pesti, +3 more
- 01 Mar 2002 - 
TL;DR: Only moisture, insolubles, unsaponifiables, and free fatty acids were significantly correlated with performance responses, and differences were noticed in abdominal fat pad color (lightness and redness) due to fat source.

Protein and lysine requirements of developing turkeys as influenced by pelleting.

Leo S. Jensen, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1965 - 
TL;DR: Requirement for nutrients per unit of feed is related to energy available for growth (productive energy) and the level of protein and other nutrients in a pelleted feed may need to be higher than in a feed in mash form.

Fats in relation to caloric efficiency

R. W. Swift, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1949 - 
TL;DR: The efficiency of utilization of diets containing amounts of fat varying from 2 to 30% has been investigated in a series of metabolism studies using male albino rats as experimental subjects as discussed by the authors.
