Influence of Feed Form on Gizzard Morphology and Particle Size Spectra of Duodenal Digesta in Broiler Chickens
We examined gizzard morphology and diet particle size reduction in broiler chickens fed a wheat-based diet that was offered in either a mash or a pelleted form. The pelleted diet had a lower proportion of coarse particles on wet sieving. Birds fed the mash diet had a significantly larger gizzard m...
