Birds were fed with commercial chick mash during the pre\u2010experimental period. At the expiration of this period, 192 chicks were selected on weight equalization basis and assigned into 24 pens. Each treatment consisted of six pens, while each pen housed eight birds. Four wheat\u2013soya bean\u2010based experimental diets were formulated in a 2\u00a0\u00d7\u00a02 factorial arrangement of diets having two wheat forms (ground and whole wheat grain) each supplemented or not with 1\u00a0g\/kg MOS<\/jats:styled-content>\/kg feed. Whole wheat feeding (irrespective of MOS<\/jats:styled-content> supplementation) showed reduced (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) feed intake. Birds fed whole wheat diet supplemented with MOS<\/jats:styled-content> recorded the highest (p\u00a0<\u00a00.01) final live weight, weight gain and the best (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) feed conversion ratio. Haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume and red blood cell count of the chicks were not affected (p\u00a0>\u00a00.05) by dietary treatment. However, dietary supplementation with MOS<\/jats:styled-content> resulted in increased (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05) WBC<\/jats:styled-content> counts. The caecum content of chicks fed with MOS<\/jats:styled-content>\u2010supplemented whole wheat diets recorded the least (p\u00a0<\u00a00.01) salmonella counts. In conclusion, combination of whole wheat feeding and MOS<\/jats:styled-content> supplementation showed improved growth performance, gut microbiota and indications of improved health status of cockerel chicks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.12314","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,26]],"date-time":"2015-03-26T22:16:05Z","timestamp":1427408165000},"page":"919-923","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Interaction effect of whole wheat feeding and mannanoligosaccharides supplementation on growth performance, haematological indices and caecal microbiota of cockerel chicks"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"A.
