Abstract
Growing rations were fed to turkey males, over a 12-week period, in four different forms, namely mash, pelleted all-mash, pelleted concentrate mixed with whole wheat, and pelleted and crumbled concentrate plus ground wheat. The formulations were altered at 4-week intervals to conform to the nutrient requirements of the growing turkey.Differences occurred between age periods but the final summary showed no significant (P > 0.05) difference in gain or feed:gain ratio between the pelleted concentrate-whole wheat ration and the crumbled concentrate-ground wheat ration. The mash form of the ration was significantly lower in both gain and feed:gain ratio than the pelleted form of the ration, whereas the whole wheat and ground wheat rations were intermediate between them. The data do not support the hypothesis that ground wheat should provide more available energy than whole wheat.
