The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of body weight (BW) of 1-d chicks on performance, yields of carcass and prime cuts and economic viability. One thousand, nine hundred and eight-four AGRoss 308 chicks (males and females) with different initial BW (32, 35, 40 and 49 g) were allotted to a randomized block design with a 2 x 4 (two sexes and four initial BW) factorial arrangement with eight treatments, four replicates and 62 birds per experimental […]
