“…This phenomenon was not evident in the mean body weight data. Body weights of birds fed the crumbled diets were, except at 28 days, significantly heavier than for those fed the mash diets, which agrees with other reports from this laboratory (Proudfoot and Sefton, 1978;Proudfoot and Hulan, 1982). At 28 days, body weights were similar for birds fed crumbles or mash diets, probably reflecting the high level of "fines" inadvertently present in the diets during the latter part of the study.…”

“…The problem experienced in this study with the breaking up of the crumbles and thus, the increase in the proportion of fines after 14 days, could have probably been avoided had a pellet binder been used in the diets. However, on the basis of the body weight gain data presented here, it is tempting to speculate that in order to maintain the growth momentum of birds fed crumbledpelleted diets over those fed all-mash (Proudfoot and Hulan, 1982), pelleted feed probably should be introduced at 14 to 21 days rather Feeding of up to 1.87 ppm vomitoxin had no significant effect on mortality nor did diet texture have any significant effect on this parameter (Table 3). The complete absence of mortality among chickens fed the highest levels (1.87 and 1.80 ppm) of vomitoxin is of interest and should be noted.…”

Two experiments were conducted to ascertain the effect of feeding vomitoxin to meat-type chickens. In each experiment 360 day-old commercial chickens of the Shaver strain were housed in Petersime batteries for 28 days and fed diets containing 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60% of wheat containing 3.00 ppm of vomitoxin. Analysis indicated that the vomitoxin levels in the diets ranged from less than .02 (control) to 1.87 ppm. Each diet was fed in either the all-mash or the crumbled form. There was no evidence of feed refusal or emesis nor were there any significant effects on mortality, body weight gain, live body weight, feed consumption, or feed conversion when these diets were fed. Subjecting the feeds to the pelleting crumbling process had no effect on the level of vomitoxin found in the finished feed. No organ damage from feeding vomitoxin was evident.

“…Pelleting the whole diet has been found to be beneficial for the improvement of bird performance (Callet, 1965;Proudfoot and Hulan, 1982;Nir et al, 1995). Accordingly, pelleted diets are the main commercial product in the broiler industry today.…”

“…However, pellets are about 10% more expensive than the mash. Besides, it was found that the incidence of sudden death syndrome was significantly higher for broilers fed pellet than mash (Proudfoot and Hulan, 1982). Furthermore, Atapattu et a1.…”

| This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different physical forms of diet (mash, crumble, and pellets) on some growth traits and carcass characteristics of broilers. Chicks (n=300, Ross 308) were distributed in a factorial arrangement with 3 treatments and 2 replicates (50 birds/replicates). The weight gain (WG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), and mortality rate were measured during the experimental periods (1-42 d). Some carcass traits were recorded at the end of the experiment (42 days) including weight of carcass, thigh, breast, and abdominal fat. Results revealed that WG and FI were significantly (P<0.05) improved and FCR was significantly (P<0.05) lower in broiler fed crumble and pellet diet than mash during the three periods (22-32 d, 33-42 d and 1-42 d). The significant (P<0.05) improvement was also found in carcass weight, thigh and breast. The superiority of broiler fed crumble and pellet was extended to include each of Performance Index (PI), European Production Efficiency Factors (EPEF) and European Broiler Index (EBI). The mortality rate was not significantly differed across all three diet forms. The results of the present study give an impression that crumble and pellet form of feed is better than mash for the productive performance of commercial broiler during the age of 21 to 42 days.
