The data were collected about status of farmers, size of the farm, rearing system, feed intake, breeding policy, and management practices and production performances. Among 10 turkey keepers 57% were women and their occupation were housewife remaining 43% were men and their occupation were business and farming. No vaccination schedule was maintained by most of farmers. Among them only 43% farmers vaccinated against only RDV, Fowl Pox, Coryza diseases. Hosing system were mainly traditional housing system which are practiced by most of the rural farmers. They have very little idea about breed or variety, management procedure and prevention of diseases. We know in Bangladesh there is no specific feeding standard of turkey as like as broiler and layer chicken. Most of the farmers fed the birds using broiler and layer feed along supplemented with kitchen waste, water hyacinth different grasses etc. For this reason more research needed to develop feeding standard of turkey, improvement of production, and their suitability in rearing all over the area of Bangladesh.
