Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the effects of high insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-3 wk age 3100 kcal ME/kg and 23% CP; 4-6 wk age 3200 kcal ME/kg and 21% CP); and low insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-3 wk age 2900 kcal ME/kg and 21% CP; 4-6 wk age 3000 kcal ME/kg and 19% CP); nutrient density and feed form insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mash, crumble and pellet); on broiler performance, rectal temperature and carcass characteristics in high summer temperatures. The research was carried out over 42 days during the period July 4 - August 16, 1996. Nine-hundred-day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into groups containing 50 chicks each with 3 replications. The results indicated that mixed feeds for broilers should be in pellet or cumble form in both high and low nutrient density during high summer temperatures.
