Abstract

There is a general agreement between researchers that Particle size of Poultry feed should be between the size ranges of 600-900 μ m. This study investigated the Particle size of Poultry feed produced in the Dormaa Municipality of Ghana. A survey was conducted on various feed mills which were made up of nine on-farm mills and five community-based commercial mills. Feed samples were collected from each mill and analyzed using the sieving method for the Particle size. The results showed that 42% of mills produced feed coarser than the accepted Particle size ranges of 600-900 μ m. The Geometric mean diameter (GMD) of the samples ranged from 608-1791 μ m. A comparison of the on-farm and commercial feed mills showed that there was no significant difference (P = 0. 669) between GMDs of the feed produced by the commercial and on-farm mills. This study confirmed that Particle size analysis should be carried out routinely at the feed mills, in order to control the quality of the feed being produced.
