Abstract
In this study, we examined production efficiency in broiler chickens fed diets based on three wheat cultivars (Equinox, Regency and Claire) that resulted in different particle spectra (P 0.05) influenced by the treatments. The mean transit time also did not differ significantly (P>0.05) between diets, but the diet with the higher (P<0.05) relative proportion of coarser particles and giving greatest (P<0.05) reduction in the number of larger particles following digestion, resulted in the best (P<0.05) feed conversion ratio in broiler chickens. The present data suggest that coarse feed particle size is advantageous in terms of feed efficiency in broilers fed wheat-based diets.
