An attempt to determine the cause of curled or deformed tongues in young Beltsville white turkeys

In this experiment where identically the same ration was fed except for feed particle size, the poults fed the pellets, with only one exception, consumed the most feed and water and made the greatest growth per gram of feed consumed, and the poults fed the medium-fine or regular ground mash consumed next to the most feed and water and made the second best growth per gram of feed consumed.
