Effect of physical and chemical treatment of grains on growth of and feed utilization by the chick. 1. The effect of water and acid treatments of corn, wheat, barley and expanded or germinated grains on chick performance.

Abstract DURING the past ten years numerous studies have been conducted at several experiment stations and other laboratories to improve the nutritive value of poultry feedstuffs. It has been found that the nutritive value of barley corn, and wheat can be improved by either a simple water-treatment (Fry et al., 1957, 1958; Lepkovsky and Furuta, 1960) or by supplementation with enzymes. (Jensen et al., 1957). Similar observations were reported by Arscott (1958), Wharton et al. (1958), Willingham et al. (1959) and Jensen (1960). The nutritive value of poultry feedstuffs may be improved by physical treatments. Allred et al. (1956) and Arscott et al. (1957) reported increased growth in chicks fed high-efficiency corn-type rations either in pelleted or reground pellet form. The nutritive value of grains may also be improved during the milling process as a result of the starch granules being mechanically damaged (Jones, 1940). In view of the growth responses…
