Influence of Varying Dietary Kudzu Leaf Meal Particle Size on Performance, Breast Weight, and Organ Weight of Broiler Chickens from 1 to 21 Days of Age

This research evaluated the influence of kudzu leaf meal particle size on body weight, feed consumption, conversion, breast and organ weights broilers. Treatments (4) included a control added to replace 2.5% soybean in broiler starter diet at three sizes (1.00, 2.00, 3.35 mm). Dietary treatments were fed 240 male broilers over 21 day grow out. Overall, there no significant treatment effects for or weights. There 1 7 conversion (p > 0.05). tended be differences 14 = 0.052) effect between 0.002). Feed was depressed 1.00 mm size.
