The effect of a machine feeding rate (FR; 1, 1.5 and 2 Mg/h) and/or three levels of selected fineness degree (FD; 3, 5 and 7 mm) on machine performance, pellet physical parameters, required energy and production cost of three main types of broilers diets were examined in this experiment. The examine...
