Abstract

Two trials were conducted with broiler chicks from hatch to 21 days of age to study the effects of feeding high moisture corn diets with and without a mold inhibitor, Monoprop®. High moisture corn (HMC) diets supported growth rates and dry matter feed conversion ratios as well as dry corn diets when Monoprop® was present in the feed even when the feed was seeded with moldy corn screenings. Without the mold inhibitor, body weight gains were depressed. This was not due to depressed feed intake as feed consumption for chicks on HMC diets without mold inhibitor was as high as other groups.
