Feeding whole grains has fascinated researchers for a long time (Cummings, 1994;
Forbes and Covasa, 1995). Lately, there has been a renewed interest in the feed industry in
whole-grain feeding, which is driven by the need to further reduce feed costs while improv-
ing bird health and welfare. Feed cost savings can be achieved by combining the whole
wheat with pellet-processed feed in the broiler diet, due to reduced handling and process-
ing. Thus, the practical implication is that if the birds fed whole wheat have performed
at least as well as those fed complete diet then the economics will favour whole-grain
feeding.
