The researches has been carried out on a number of 250 broiler turkey juveniles, the Big 6 hybrid, distributed in 5 groups of 50 juveniles/group over a period of 56 days. After 56 days, the experiment was carried out on 3 groups over a period of 84 days, recording the production indices; at the end of the experimental period (at the age of 140 days) meat quality and chemical composition were determined. In the first 2 stages, the fodders were supplemented with Allzyme SSF complex 0.02%, Bio-Mos 0.1%, organic Selenium 0.03% and Bio-Mos 0.1% and Allzyme SSF 0.02%. The turkeys were weighted at the beginning of the experimental period (at the age of one day) and then weekly, recording the evolution of body mass, the daily average weight gain, the daily average consumption and the feed conversion ratio (FCR). The use of Sel-Plex, Bio-Mos + Allzyme SSF, Allzyme SSF and Bio-Mos for 56 days, determined the increase of the body weight, the increase of daily average weight gain, and a decrease FCR value. In the 3rd, 4th and 5th stage, the best results regarding growth and consumption indices were recorded also in experimental groups. At the end of the trial, meat quality and chemical composition of meat were determined. The administration of the Allzyme SSF enzyme complex and the organic mineral Sel-plex led to the improvement of the meat quality due to an increase in meat protein content and a reduction of meat fat content.
