Research Track 4 - Health

Primary dependency: Baseline Health Parameter Establishment (CBTP81)

Research Track 4 currently has 25 projects outlined in our roadmap. Some examples include:
CBTP81 - Baseline Health Parameter Establishment

Establish baseline physiological, hematological, and behavioral health parameters for Canadian Bronze turkeys across life stages to distinguish normal variation from pathology.

CBTP84 - Vaccination Protocol Evaluation

Assess efficacy and necessity of standard poultry vaccination programs when applied to small, pasture-based heritage flocks.

CBTP103 - Biosecurity in Small Flocks

Develop biosecurity protocols tailored to small, conservation-focused turkey operations.

CBTP105 - Longevity and Healthspan

Measure lifespan and years of productive health to assess overall welfare outcomes.

Deliverables:

Risk profiles, prevention protocols, welfare indicators, and practical surveillance plans suited to small distributed breeder networks. How it’s used: reduces catastrophic health events and strengthens long-term resilience.
