The investigation was aimed at indication of effects of micronized cereal application in chicken fattening. 100 chickens of Ross hybrid were divided into an experimental (E) and control (C) group. The mixture composition was the same with both chicken groups, however the experimental group was fed mixtures with micronized corn and wheat. Chickens receiving feed mixtures with micronized cereals were growing faster, thus, achieved higher final body weight (2,224 g) and consumed less feed per 1 kg weight gain (1.88 kg) compared to the control group chickens (2,037 g and 2.03 kg). Chickens fed mixtures with micronized cereals had statistically very significantly higher weight of the dress carcasses. On the other hand they had statistically significantly lower abdominal fat share in the dress carcass compared to the control group. No statistically significant differences regarding some carcass part shares as well as shares of muscle tissue, fat tissue with skin and bones in breast and thigh with drumstick were found between the chicken groups.
