In this experiment, 560 day old male broilers (Ross 308) in a completely randomized design were used to study the effect of two fiber sources (processed fiber and corn hull) at inclusion levels of 3, 4, and 5 g/kg of diet on the performance and intestinal morphology. In all three sections of small intestine the maximum number goblet cells, villus height and ratio of villus height to crypt depth and minimum crypt depth were observed in processed fiber groups especially at 5 g/kg of processed fiber. Growth rate and feed efficiency were improved when diets contained 5 g/kg of processed fiber (P
