The reduction in the size of gizzard, with pellet feeding, is a logical response to reduced grinding activity as a result of finer particle size caused by the pelleting process.

4. Feeding Frequency: The frequency of feeding can impact gizzard development. Birds that have access to feed more frequently may have smaller gizzards compared to birds with limited access, as frequent feeding reduces the need for extensive mechanical breakdown in the gizzard.

5. Feed Quality: Poor feed quality may result in inefficient digestion, leading to changes in gizzard size in an attempt to compensate for nutrient absorption.

6. Feed Additives: Some additives in the feed, such as enzymes or probiotics, can influence digestive efficiency and gizzard development.

7. Feed Intake: Variations in feed intake among birds can also affect gizzard size, as more feed consumption may lead to larger gizzard development.

1. Feed Texture: Birds that consume coarse-textured feed may develop larger gizzards compared to those fed with fine-textured feed. Coarse feed requires more mechanical processing in the gizzard for digestion.

2. Feed Composition: The composition of the feed, including fiber content, can affect gizzard development. High-fiber diets can stimulate gizzard growth since they require more grinding for digestion.

3. Feed Particle Size: Birds fed with larger feed particles may develop larger gizzards as they need to be broken down into smaller pieces in the gizzard.

The primary factor influencing gizzard size in broilers of the same age is the type of feed they consume. Birds fed a mash diet, which requires more grinding, tend to develop larger gizzards compared to those fed a pelleted diet.<source-footnote _nghost-ng-c253037743=”” ng-version=”0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER”></source-footnote> Pelleted feed is already partially processed, reducing the need for extensive grinding by the gizzard.<source-footnote _nghost-ng-c253037743=”” ng-version=”0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER”></source-footnote><sources-carousel-inline _nghost-ng-c3440966521=”” ng-version=”0.0.0-PLACEHOLDER”> <sources-carousel _ngcontent-ng-c3440966521=”” hide-from-message-actions=”” _nghost-ng-c1078376787=””></sources-carousel></sources-carousel-inline>

Good

But I think, breed type is the main key to that

Good question
