RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The results of broiler performance as affected by physical form of feed are shown in Table 4 and Figure
1. Feed Intake was not significantly (P>0.05) affected by physical type of feed. However, Broilers fed
mash diet had numerically increased feed intake compared with birds fed mash + pellet or pellet. This
agreed with [18] who owed the increased feed intake to excessive feed wastage. These results were in
disagreement with [16] and [10], who found that feed intake, weight gain, and final body weight
increased, whereas feed conversion decreased among birds fed pellets compared with mash and 50:50
reground mash and pellets. This observation suggests that high pellet quality may be necessary to fully
