An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of the physical form of feed on performance and carcass characteristics of broilers. A total of 240 male broiler chicks were assigned and housed in metal cage of three floors in a randomized block design with 4 physical forms of feed and 6 repetitions with 10 birds per experimental unit, where each floor represented a block. Treatments consisted of: mash, pelleted, expanded and expanded pelleted diets. Performance indexes were analyzed in the […]
