The work objective was to evaluate the effect of using a thermal insulating material installed as lining under the roof, on broiler performance, on environmental conditions of different broiler chickens stocking densities (10, 16 and 22 birds/m2) and on litter characteristics. The experiment was carried out during the summer, using 3328 chicks of Hubbard strain, distributed in a completely randomized design, in a factorial scheme 3×2 (density and sex), with four replicates for each environment. For the environment comparison a […]
