The Effect of Environment on Chick Growth1

H. M. Edwards, Jr., H. L. Fuller and C. W. Hess

Poultry Department, University of Georgia, Athens

Chickens grown in an experimental laboratory immediately after the laboratory had been cleaned and fumigated with formalin and potassium permanganate grew at a greater rate than chicks grown in the same laboratory with older chicks present from the start of the experiment. The data presented also suggest that the requirement of the chick for certain nutrients may be much greater when chicks are grown in contaminated quarters as compared with chicks grown in fumigated quarters. The significance of the findings is discussed.
