“…They reported that BW of of Muscovy ducklings fed wet feed was 1.97 and 3.12% higher than that of birds fed dry mash feed and the BWG of the birds fed wet feed was 6.91 and 10.72% higher than that of the birds fed dry mash feed. Similar observations have been reported in growing quails and broilers (Scott and Silversides, 2003;Afsharmanesh et al, 2006;Syafwan et al, 2011;Farghly, 2012;Afsharmanesh et al, 2016;Mortazavi and Afsharmanesh 2017). However, Beg, et al, (2011) reported no difference in bird body weight and gain.…”

Many strategies to avoid the harmful effects of ambient high temperature can be applied on specific feed manipulations as wet feed. The present study was conducted to investigate the impact of using wet feed in hottest different times of day to alleviate the negative effects of heat stress during summer season in Upper Egypt. Hundred and twenty Japanese quail chicks (one-day old) were reared in batteries and assigned to four groups (30 birds /each). The chicks of first group (C) were full-fed ad libitum fed dry mash feed. While, the first, second and third treatment (T1, T2 and T3) was fed on wet feed (

“…It is apparent from this increase in feed intake with wet feeding that limitations in intake exist with both samples of wheat. In previous studies (Scott 2002;Scott and Silversides 2003), adding water to HRS-based diets caused disproportionate increases in feed intake and growth resulting in a marked increase in FCR, whereas adding water to Durumbased diets resulting in proportionate changes in feed intake and growth, with no changes in FCR. The wheat samples used in the present study were not the same as those used previously and were evaluated with different lots of birds, perhaps explaining differences between previous studies and this one, particularly for HRS wheat.…”

“…Although supplemental enzymes resulted in increased intake of the diets, this supplementation did not negate differences in growth rate between sources of wheat or its relationship to feed intake. Subsequent studies (Scott 2002;Scott and Silversides 2003) suggested that intake of wheat-based diets may be limited by the hydration rate of the diet in the gut. The time required for hydration of different sources of wheat in the gut directly influences digesta passage time and subsequently feed intake (Yasar and Forbes 2000).…”

Afsharmanesh, M., Scott T. A. and Silversides, F. G. 2006. A comparison of grinding processes and wet feeding of wheatbased diets on AME, production and gastrointestinal tract development of broiler chicks. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 86: 255-261. This experiment studied the effect of grind mill type [hammer (HM) or attrition (AM)], grind size (5.6 mm 4.8 mm, and 2.4 mm) and wheat type [Durum or Hard Red Spring (HRS)] on the performance, energy retention (AME), and the gut development of broilers fed these diets with or without 1.2 g water -1 g dry feed added. Twenty-four dietary treatments (2 grind types × 3 grind sizes × 2 wheat types × wet or dry feeding) were each fed to four cages of six male broilers from 1 to 17 d of age. Wet diets were prepared daily. Feeding diets with water increased 17 d body weight and feed intake of broilers compared with feeding the diets dry. Body weight and feed intake of broilers fed the HM diets were greater than those of broilers fed diets containing wheat processed by AM. Feed intake and FCR with HRS-based diets were higher than those for Durum-based diets. The AME for Durum was higher than for HRS and the ME efficiency (kcal g -1 BW) was greater, indicating a lower efficiency. The AME intake of HMground wheat was higher than for that for wheat ground with the AM. The type of grinding, the wheat type, and the addition of water all affected the length and weight of the digestive system, likely through their effects on the rate of water absorption and passage through the gut. Particle size did not affect any measurement. Hammer milling produced a uniform particle size and less fines and may be better suited for processing wheat in broiler diets.

“…The advantages of wet feeding in broilers were recently reviewed by Yasar and Forbes (2000) and wet feeding was suggested by Scott, 2002 , Scott and Silversides, 2003 and Afsharmanesh et al. (2006) as being a valuable tool in increasing our understanding of the limitations in feed intake by broilers fed cereal-based diets.…”

Effects of wet feeding and early feed restriction on blood parameters and growth performance of broiler chickens

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of early feed restriction (FR) with wet feeding on size of small intestine, blood lipids and performance parameters in broilers from d 1 to 42. A total of 160 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 4 treatments with 4 pens per treatment and 10 chickens per pen, in a fully randomized 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, two feeding arrangement; providing feed ad libitum (Full Fed) or FR by 50% between days 6 to 12, and feed in either wet or dry form (wet form, 1.2 g water per 1 g dry feed). Body weight and feed intake of broiler chickens were determined at d 0, 21, and 42, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was calculated. At d 42, two birds per replicate were euthanised for determination of carcass weight, organ weight and length, and also for blood parameters, which included high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol and triglycerides (TG). The broilers fed wet form irrespective of FR throughout had superior body weight gain and carcass weight compared with birds fed dry diets at d 22 and 42 (P < 0.05). The wet form with FR significantly showed lower FCR compared with the wet form and ad libitum at d 1 to 21 (P < 0.05). The broilers fed wet form had significantly increased HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol and decreased TG (P < 0.05). In conclusion, wet form can improve performance growth and blood parameters, and the FR birds were able to attain normal market body weight at d 42, which suggests that growth compensation occurred.
