This study evaluated the effects of whole-grain rice (WGR) on pellet quality, geese performance, and economic benefits. A total of 360 one-day-old healthy male Jiangnan White goslings with similar body weight (BW) were randomly divided into 2 groups with 6 replicates per group and 30 geese per replicate. Pelleted diets were prepared with WGR for the experimental group and crushed rice (CR) for the control group to create the 2 treatments. Dietary rice (unhusked) inclusions were 20% for 1 to 21 d and 40% for 22 to 70 d. The pellets from d 1 to 21 were crumbled. Prepelleted WGR significantly decreased pellet length, hardness and pellet durability index. WGR pellets had significantly higher fine ratio (≤2.8 mm) and starch gelatinization than CR pellets. The different treatments did not affect BW on 21, 42, and 70 d of age or average daily feed intake (ADFI), average daily gain, and feed to gain ratio (F/G) from 1 to 70 d. However, compared with the CR diet, the WGR diet increased ADFI and F/G from 1 to 21 d. At 70 d of age, similar slaughter performance, relative viscera weight, and meat quality of geese were observed, except for a significant increase in the spleen ratio in the WGR treatment compared with the CR treatment. From the observation, pelleting with WGR reduced the cost of feed manufacture by decreasing the electricity use of grinding and had no negative effect on feed cost per/kg weight gain of geese. Even with the decreased pellet quality, we recommend replacing CR in geese diets with WGR from 22 to 70 d of age in view of the geese performance, economic benefits, and electricity savings.

本研究评估了全谷米 ( WGR ) 对颗粒质量、鹅性能和经济效益的影响。总共360一个日龄健康男性江南白鹅具有相似体重（BW），随机分为2组，每组6个重复和每个重复30个鹅。实验组用 WGR 制备颗粒饲料和碾碎的大米（CR) 为对照组创建 2 个治疗。日粮大米（去壳）内含物在 1 至 21 天时为 20%，在 22 至 70 天时为 40%。第 1 天至第 21 天的丸粒被粉碎。预制粒 WGR 显着降低了颗粒长度、硬度和颗粒耐久性指数。WGR 颗粒比 CR 颗粒具有显着更高的细度比（≤2.8 mm）和淀粉糊化。不同的处理不影响 21、42 和 70 日龄的体重或平均每日采食量 ( ADFI))、平均日增重和 1 至 70 天的料重比 (F/G)。然而，与 CR 饮食相比，WGR 饮食增加了从 1 天到 21 天的 ADFI 和 F/G。在 70 日龄时，观察到鹅的屠宰性能、相对内脏重量和肉质相似，但与 CR 处理相比，WGR 处理的脾脏比率显着增加。从观察结果来看，WGR 制粒通过减少研磨的电力使用降低了饲料制造成本，并且对每公斤鹅增重的饲料成本没有负面影响。即使颗粒质量下降，考虑到鹅的性能、经济效益和节电，我们建议在 22 至 70 日龄的鹅日粮中用 WGR 代替 CR。
