TLDR
Experiments were conducted to study the effect on broiler performance of grinding corn with different hammer mill screen openings (HMSO) and body weights were reduced when corn was ground through 9.59- and 3.18-mm HMSO for the starter and finisher diets, respectively.About:

Feed particle size: Implications on the digestion and performance of poultry
TL;DR: Systematic investigations on the relationships of feed particle size and diet uniformity with bird performance, gut health and pellet quality are warranted if efficiency is to be optimised in respect of the energy expenditure of grinding.

Physical and nutritional effects of pelleting of broiler chicken diets made from wheat ground to different coarsenesses by the use of roller mill and hammer mill

TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to assess the interactions between grinding, pelleting and broiler performance, and the results indicated that pellets will even out differences in particle distribution, and that coarse grinding of wheat has no negative effect on broiler performances.

Effect of Grain Particle Size on Performance.: 2. Grain Texture Interactions
TL;DR: At the age of 21 d, duodenum weight and content was highest in chicks fed the fine diets, and the pH of the gizzard content decreased with increasing grain particle size, whereas that of the small intestinal content increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Particle Size on Performance. 3. Grinding Pelleting Interactions
TL;DR: The interactive effects observed between grinding method and the form of the feed on body weight and feed intake were explained by the higher response to pelleting when grains were ground in HM vs RM, and the positive effect of grinding in RM on feed utilization was found to be additive to that of pellets in all three experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Feed Particle Size on the Performance, Energy Utilization, Digestive Tract Development, and Digesta Parameters of Broiler Starters Fed Wheat- and Corn-Based Diets
TL;DR: The results showed that the effect of feed particle size varies depending on grain type, and that the differences in particle size distribution still existed between diets after pelleting.

The Energy Requirements and Performance of Growing Chickens and Turkeys as Affected by Environmental Temperature

TL;DR: In turkeys, weight gain at 12 C was inferior to that at 18 C for both sexes, and the calculated amino acid per kilocalorie dietary requirements for 6-week-old chicks increased with temperature to a peak at 27 C, followed by a decrease as the temperature was raised further.

The effects of hammer mill screen size on ground corn particle size pellet durability and broiler performance
TL;DR: In this article, a hammer mill with screens ranging from 3.18 mm to 9.53 mm was used to formulate pelleted broiler diets that were fed to broilers grown in a moderate (21- to 24-C) environment.

Effects of environmental temperature and corn particle size on response of broilers to pelleted feed.
TL;DR: In this paper, the size of ground corn used in the starter diets had no effect on body weights or feed conversions at either 21 days or at market age for broilers fed to broilers for 21 days in crumble or pellet form.
