1. Growth rate and the efficiencies of food and energy utilisation were investigated with large white poults. They were fed from 1 to 3 weeks of age on diets containing either 240 or 300 g crude protein/kg diet, with no filler, 25 g washed builders' sand/kg or 25 g chick-size grit/kg. 2. Sand and grit increased growth and improved the food and energy conversion ratios. None of the interactions of crude protein content with filler was statistically significant. 3. It is speculated that grit and sand improved the grinding and the digestion of the food particles. |
