Abstract
In an earlier report by Davis et al. (1951) the data showed that if “chick size” cracked corn replaced part of the ground corn in a corn-soybean oilmeal chick starting ration, poorer growth, increased variation in chick size, and poorer feed utilization resulted. This was attributed to the selection of the corn particles in preference to the rest of the diet.The purpose of this report is to extend this work and show the effect on the chicks of various particle sizes of ground corn as produced by the use of different size hammermill screens.EXPERIMENTALDay-old White Leghorn female chicks from the Poultry Division flock were used in groups of 10. They were reared in electrically heated metal batteries with raised wire screen floors. Feed was supplied ad libitum and the water changed daily.Six different moduli of cornmeal were prepared from the same sample of #2 yellow dent .
