3-4mo old turkeys dying

I did a necropsy and found liver necrosis. Combined with a few other issues we've seen, anemia we discovered in the living poults, anorexia Ive discovered in the living and deceased, I think its a combo of Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxins. We're moving the birds to a clean space and upping their protein back to starter feed, hopefully they clear the toxins and Ill have an good update in a week or 2.
Make sure that you are not giving them garlic. Garlic is an allium. Alliums are known to be toxic to poultry. One of the main symptoms is anemia.

No garlic given. only bit we dont use is the paper and root ends but that all just goes in the compost.
 
Update:
Since my necropsy reply, NO turkeys have died. We upped their protein and moved them to completely dry ground that doesnt get wet at all. Hope this helps someone else who might be having the same issue with their young turkeys.
