Clomiphene-citrate does not reduce broodiness of turkey hens

Broody turkey hens were treated by giving them clomiphene-citrate (6 mg/kg body weight), an antiestrogen compound, orally for 5 consecutive days in conjunction with the standard practice of moving them into a different pen and exposing them to continuous high intensity light (greater than 215 lx). This treatment did not reduce broody behavior or have any beneficial effect on egg production.
