In an experiment to determine methods of incorporating soft winter wheat into broiler diets, a significant increase in mortality was observed in broilers fed wheat in crumbled diets. This increase in mortality was associated with necrotic enteritis with Clostridium perfringens indicated as the causative pathogen and complicated by a coccidiosis outbreak. When yellow corn was used in the diet, mortality was 2.9%. Use of all wheat, ground with a hammer mill, increased mortality to 28.9%. However, roller mill-ground wheat diet resulted in a mortality of 18.1%. When the grain component was approximately 50% wheat and 50% corn, mortality was 12.6% for broilers fed hammer mill-ground wheat and 3.4% for roller mill-ground wheat. Grain and feed were tested for several mycotoxins. Low levels of deoxynivalenol were found in both corn and wheat diets, but no differences between the corn and wheat-based diets were found that would explain the incidence of enteritis.
在一项确定将软质冬小麦纳入肉鸡日粮方法的实验中，观察到在喂食碎粒日粮小麦的肉鸡中死亡率显著增加。这种死亡率的增加与坏死性肠炎有关，产气荚膜梭菌被指明为致病病原体，并且伴有球虫病爆发。当日粮中使用黄玉米时，死亡率为2.9%。使用锤片式粉碎机粉碎的全小麦日粮使死亡率增至28.9%。然而，使用辊式粉碎机粉碎的小麦日粮导致死亡率为18.1%。当日粮中的谷物成分约为50%小麦和50%玉米时，喂食锤片式粉碎机粉碎小麦的肉鸡死亡率为12.6%，喂食辊式粉碎机粉碎小麦的肉鸡死亡率为3.4%。对谷物和饲料进行了几种霉菌毒素的检测。在玉米和小麦日粮中均发现了低水平的脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇，但未发现玉米和小麦日粮之间存在可解释肠炎发病率差异的情况。
