Means in a column not sharing a common superscript lowercase letter are significantly different (P < 0.05) by Student t or Tukey's test.

Values are means ± SEM of 8 pens per treatment combination with 20 male broiler chickens per pen.

Particle size: coarse corn (800–900 μm), and fine corn (400–500 μm).
