Replicated research has not identified the impact of augering feed on the pellet quality, feed segregation, and resulting bird performance; therefore, 2 experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 was conducted to determine the effects of pellet-to-fine ratios (P:F; 55:45 or 75:25) and liquid application method (LAM; mixer liquid application method [MLAM] or postpellet liquid application method [PPLAM] addition of fat and phytase) on feed segregation, after augering, throughout a commercial feed line. Samples for each augered diet were obtained at 0, 15, 30, 32, 44, and 58 m on the feed line. After augering, each diet was retained by a feed pan location (FPL) from 0 to 30 and 32 to 58 m for experiment 2, to determine the effects of P:F, segregation, and FPL on day 28 to 56 performance and day 57 processing. Augering PPLAM diets increased percent pellets vs. MLAM diets. An FPL × P:F interaction found decreased percent pellets when augering from 0 to 15 and 44 to 58 m; 55:45 P:F diets had no change from 15 to 44 m; 75:25 P:F diets fluctuated. An LAM × P:F × FPL interaction showed decreased day 28 to 42 BW gain (BWG) for the MLAM and 75:25 P:F diets across FPL vs. PPLAM and 75:25 P:F diets. In addition, an LAM × P:F × FPL interaction demonstrated that the PPLAM affected day 56 BW uniformity by the FPL. The 75:25 P:F diet improved the BWG, as well as carcass and total breast weight. These data verify physical and nutrient (phytase) segregation occurs during augering and subsequently affects performance; future research should examine the specific nutrient segregation due to augering and the resulting impact on bird performance.

重复的研究尚未发现开凿饲料对颗粒品质，饲料偏析和最终鸡只性能的影响。因此，进行了2个实验。进行实验1以确定颗粒与细粉的比例（P：F； 55：45或75:25）和液体施用方法（LAM；混合器液体施用方法[ MLAM ]或丸后液体施用方法[ PPLAM ]）的影响加脂后，在整个商业化饲料生产线中对饲料的分离进行添加）。在饲喂线上分别在0、15、30、32、44和58 m处获取每种饲粮的样本。开凿后，每种饲料都被保留在饲料盘位置（FPL）从0到30，从32到58 m进行实验2，以确定P：F，偏析和FPL对第28到56天的性能和第57天处理的影响。与MLAM饮食相比，螺旋PPLAM饮食增加了颗粒的百分比。FPL×P：F相互作用在从0到15和从44到58 m的凿孔时发现了降低的颗粒百分率。55:45 P：F饮食从15到44 m没有变化；75:25 P：F饮食波动。LAM×P：F×FPL相互作用显示第28天的体重增加减少至42 BW（BWG）相对于PPLAM和75:25 P：F饮食的MLAM和75:25 P：F饮食。此外，LAM×P：F×FPL相互作用表明PPLAM通过FPL影响了第56天体重的均匀性。75:25的P：F饮食改善了BWG，以及car体和总乳房重量。这些数据验证了物理和养分（肌醇六磷酸酶）的分离在开凿期间发生并随后影响了性能；未来的研究应检查由于丁香造成的特定养分分离及其对禽类生产性能的影响。
