Abstract

The effects of Tamoxifen (TAM) on reproductive traits in young turkey toms and Muscovy drakes were studied. At 6 wk of age, five toms were injected every other day with 1 mg TAM/kg BW, while six others were treated with corn oil (controls). In the toms, using TAM advanced semen production by 4 wk (13.5 versus 17.5 wk of age) and increased the size of the snood and testes. Similarly, in the Muscovy drake, using TAM enhanced penis growth and advanced semen production by 5 wk.
