S. 1988. Apparent feed particle size preference by broilers. Can. J. Anim. Broiler chicks ofdifferent ages were used to study particle size disappearance and the effect of particle size on feed intake. The disappearance of particles larger than 1 . 1 8 mm was obvi,ous at all ages. However, it was noticed that at 8 Les sujets ont consomm6 ces particules plus petites )r la fin de la p6riode de 24 h, en particulier lorsque la concentration de particules plus grosses €tait r6duite. L'analyse chimique a rdv6l6, que les sujets choisissaient leurs aliments en fonction de la taille des particules puisque la composition nutritive des aliments et des diverses composantes alimentaires ne variait pas avec le temps. Un remplacement soudain des particules par des granules n'a pas eu d'effet ndgatif sur la consommation d'ensemble (P > 0,05) ni sur le rendement des suiets.
