        <Abstract>The influence of different feed forms and particle size on feed and water intake, live body, carcass weight, internal organs weight and the performance in broiler chicks was examined. A total one hundred and fifty chicks were distributed into groups A, B and C. Group A was served with mash feed, and group B and C were fed with crumble feed of 1, 2 and 3 mm and 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 mm particle size each at a pre-starter, starter and finisher phases, respectively. Result show that feed forms had significant influence on the growth of broilers. Feed and water intake also live body weight in crumble fed group C were higher (P0.05) than group B and A. Alongside carcass weight in group C was also higher than group B and A. The broiler liver, heart, gizzard and intestine weight found higher in group C than group B and A significantly (P0.01). In conclusion, the crumble feed form showed improvement of growth in broiler chicken. The crumble feed form of 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 mm particle size at pre-starter, starter and finisher ration may be preferred for higher production and feed conversion ratio in broiler chicken.</Abstract>
