The rations were identical - one pelleted and the other in meal form. The trial ended when the birds reached 300 days of age (approx. 10 months). The birds fed the ground feed ration gained .96 pounds per day per bird over the feeding trial period. The birds fed pelleted feed gained .91 pounds per bird per day over the feeding trial period. The feed consumption rates per bird per day were identical.The ground feed birds weighed in about 15 pounds per bird heavier than the pellet feed birds at the end of 300 days. The ground fed birds averaged 288 pounds(130kg)at the end of the trial and the pellet fed birds averaged 273 pounds (124kg) per bird.There is very little difference in performance between pelleted feeds and ground feeds when the ground feed is formulated correctly and mixed correctly. If there is any difference, it usually will be in favour of the ground feed.
