Growth. 1979 Sep;43(3):151-9.
Growth in the maximum length of the skull, humerus, ulna + radius, carpometacarpus + phalanges, pelvis, femur, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus + phalanges was measured by dissection of male and female white turkeys taken at 14 day intervals from hatching to 20 weeks. In all skeletal units except carpometacarpus + phalanges, a greater rate of growth (P less than 0.01) was detected in males.
