Abstract
Male and female broilers from 21 days old were fed on either a complete or given choice of whole wheat and 1 of 2 higher-protein foods formulated by omitting some or all of the cereal from the complete diet. For males receiving the choice treatments, on average 44.7 and 73.1% by weight, respectively, of the food consumed from 21 days consisted of whole wheat. The corresponding figures for the females were 49.9 and 77.3%, respectively. Growth rate from 21 days was significantly lower for the males which received wheat and the cereal-free higher-protein food and for the females on either choice treatment. Differences in the treatment means were small.
