I had a turkey with that exact thing. It was a bacterial infection. Some Orbax and eyedrops of kinds cleared it right up. Vet prescription may be required.

is it safe for animals meant for consumption?

Heck if I know, I just care about the animal first. The animal's health is more important than me having excess meat. Plus I don't kill my own birds to eat them. No matter how they die, I bury them with tears in the backyard.

Also, this is not a "growth" as you thought but swelling from an immune response. Turkeys are prone to nasal infections and that's probably what this is.

Yeah, it's used in pet mammals mostly. It worked like a charm though.

Orbax is in the same family as Baytril, so it's banned for use in food poultry. Baytril *is* approved for use in cattle and swine when used as directed.

Since the turkeys are responding to Tylan it's almost certainly a mycoplasma infection.

So can we eat the birds if they had this infection.
