Feeding whole grain with pelleted diets to growing broiler chickens
In three trials with growing broilers (aged 12-8 days) the proportion of whole grain (WG) was increased step by step up to 30% (Trial 1) along with commercial starter (S) and grower (G) pellets or up to 40% (Trial 2) and 50% (Trial 3) with special balancer (BA) pellets (crude protein 250 g/kg). WG a...
