Inclusion of Stored Wheat in the Feed of Broilers Influences Intake, Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Digesta Viscosity from 1-21 Days of Age

The objective of the current study was to examine effect replacing maize with new or stored wheat on nutrient intake, digestibility, digesta viscosity, and growth performance growing broilers from 1-21 days age. For this purpose, 560 one-day-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into seven experimental treatments, each 8 replicates 10 birds. control diet a corn soybean-based diet, while six other treatments replaced either 50% 100% new, 1.5 year, 2.5-year-old wheat. results showed that replacement at in significantly reduced feed intake body weight gain, increased FCR (p<0.05) week 3. Similarly, overall period starter phase (1-21 days), viscosity (p<0.05). Based findings study, it is concluded successfully replaces broilers. Furthermore, has positive impact parameter, digestibility as compared
