F. Rations: Standard broiler starter, grower, and finisher rations. Procedure: Allot birds to both treatments at 1 day of age on an equal basis with respect to breeder flock source, sex, health, number of birds, and delivery date (if necessary). Eliminate bias that might be caused by differences in location, house construction, equipment, and ventilation. Each house should be of equal size. Old litter used in each house should be from the same source. If new litter is used, the litter may be seeded by mixing in old litter from a recently vacated house.
