“…On the other hand, others have reported significant improvements in the BW, FI and FCR of broilers when fed on wet feed [ 10 , 11 , 13 , 30 ]. In this study, the marked differences in growth performance between wet feed and dry feed can be ascribed to the variations in the digesta passage rate through the gastrointestinal tract, which increased in the case of wet feeding [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…Conversely, Tabeidian et al (2015) observed a significant decrease in abdominal fat percentage in wet-fed broilers [ 11 ]. Emadinia et al (2014) and Afsharmanesh et al (2006) observed that heart and liver relative weights were increased in wet-fed broilers compared with dry-fed ones [ 5 , 13 ].…”

“…Nevertheless, there were contradictions in the investigation’s results concerning the effect of wet feeding on poultry efficiency [ 9 ]. Afsharmanesh et al (2016), Tabeidian et al (2015) and Atapattu and Sudusinghe (2013) showed significant improvements in the FI, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and daily weight gain (WG) of broilers when fed on wet feed [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. However, others did not report noticeable changes in the WG and FCR of broilers, Muscovy ducks and geese as a result of wet feeding compared to dry feeding [ 6 , 7 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Within this regard, Bacillus licheniformis have the ability to sporulate, thereby making them stable during thermal treatment of feed and resistant to enzymatic digestion along the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) [ 16 ]. Previous studies reported that Bacillus licheniformis supplementation in broilers’ drinking water or diets promoted growth performance by enhancing the body weight and feed conversion ratio of broilers [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”

The present study evaluated the effect of three feeding methods (dry feed, wet feed or wet feed fermented with Bacillus licheniformis) on the growth performance, intestinal histomorphometry and gene expression of the lipid metabolism- and growth-related genes of broiler chickens. A total of 360 one-day-old Cobb-500 broiler chicks were randomly allotted into three groups containing four replicates with 30 birds each. The first group (control) was fed a dry mash basal diet. The second and third groups were fed wet feed and fermented wet feed. The final body weight and weight gain were reduced (p < 0.01) in the wet feed group, while they did not differ between the fermented wet feed and dry feed groups. Feed intake was not altered, and feeding on wet feed significantly (p < 0.01) increased the feed-to-gain ratio compared to the remaining groups. No differences between the three feeding methods in carcass characteristics, blood biochemistry and nutrient digestibility were observed except for crude protein digestibility, which was increased (p < 0.01) in the fermented wet feed group. Duodenal and ileal villi heights were elevated in birds fed fermented wet feeds, while crypt depth was not altered. The expression fold of IGF-1, GH and m-TOR genes in the pectoral muscle of birds fed wet feed was decreased (p < 0.05), while myostatin gene expression was elevated. Feeding on wet feed reduced the hepatic gene expression of PPARγ and increased that of FAS. In conclusion, wet feed negatively affected the broiler chickens’ efficiency under heat stress; however, fermenting the wet feed with Bacillus licheniformis improved feed utilization and birds’ performance compared to the dry feed group.

“…High pellet hardness of the pre-starter feed prepared by using saccharose and/or dextrose has limited the consumption of these feeds given during the first week. Tabeidian et al (2015), in their study where they provided pre-starter feed prepared by using casein, gluten, starch and dextrose to chicks wetted with water (0.3 l/kg feed) and unwetted, report that wetting the feed increased the daily body weight gain between days 1-42. On the other hand, hot steam used for pellet forming increases the digestion rate of ingredients in the diet especially by expanding starch molecules (Kutlu and Kutay, 2020).…”

The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of pre-starter feed prepared using different sugar sources on the performance, carcass parameters, internal organs and intestinal development, microbial load in broilers. In total, 360 newly hatched chicks divided into 4 treatment groups with 5 replicates. 18 chicks with similar live weights (9 male, 9 female) were used for each replicate. Control or pre-starter feeds (containing %14 saccharose, %14 dextrose, or %7 saccharose+ %7 dextrose) were used for the feeding of the groups. For the feeding of the control group, standard chick starter feed was used for the first 5 days; for the treatment groups, the pre-starter feeds prepared were used. For the rest of the trial period, all groups were subjected to standard feeding. A significant difference was observed among groups with regards to live weight gain and feed conversion rate during the first four weeks of the study; however, this effect disappeared over the last week. In addition, it was determined that any differences observed with regards to carcass parameters other than hot and cold carcass weights, internal organ development aside from proventriculus, intestinal development and microbial load were not significant. It was concluded that the pre-starter feed prepared with saccharose and/or dextrose did not show the expected effect
