The effect of pelleting on the utilisation of yeast grown on n-alkanes by broiler chicks

摘要: Oguntona, T., Neale, R.J. and Lewis, D., 1985. The effect of pelleting on the utllisation yeast grown n-alkanes by broiler chicks. Anita. Feed Sc£ Technol., 12: 285293. Diets containing 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 g kg -1 n-alkane-grown were given as either mash, pellets re-ground to chicks from 7 21 days in a 3 X factorial experiment. Pelleted diets gave significantly (P<0.05) greater body weight gain, food intake conversion ratio at all levels inclusion than mash pellets. Yeast level physical form interaction was significant for ratio. Pelleting increased nitrogen retention metabolisable energy with diets. Slower transit times observed pelleted results show that while improved performance generally, depression growth rate caused high diet not completely eliminated.
