Parameters observed that feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion,
water consumption, and mortality. Effect of treatment performed by analysis of
variance and if the analysis showed a significant effect followed by Duncan's
multiple range test. Increasing the number of chickens per flock artificial
influenced of reducing body weight gain and increasing water intake, but had no
effect on feed intake, feed conversion, and mortality. Good performance of

with body weight gain approaching recommendation Guide Isa Brown (2005).
