“…Findings regarding total feeding time by Siegel et al (1965) concur with the 6-hour/day regimen. Barrot and Pringle (1951) had best results with 6-8 hours/day total feeding time. Moore (1957), Barrot and Pringle (1951), and Clegg and Sanford (1951) appear to support the results favoring light-dark intervals found in this study.…”

Moore (1957), Barrot and Pringle (1951), and Clegg and Sanford (1951) appear to support the results favoring light-dark intervals found in this study. Indications are that light in short intervals (light 15 minutes-dark 45 minutes) gives enough time for feeding and the following dark period is long enough to allow emptying of the crop so that feeding will resume when the light comes on.…”

“…Based upon the literature cited it was expected that the low background groups would have greater weight gains (Beane et al, 1965;Skoglund and Palmer, 1962;Barrot and Pringle, 1951;Shutze et al, 1960) than those exposed to higher background intensities. Such was indeed the case, as the low groups in the first analysis of variance were found to be consistently heavier.…”

“…If the sole function of light were to insure adequate feeding time, then various intensities should provide uniform weight gains. However, Barrot and Pringle (1951), Skoglund (1962), and Skoglund and Palmer (1962), report studies in which levels of illumination below 10 footcandles provide maximum gain. Centa et al (1968) restricted both light and access to feed and found that control of light alone was the significant variable.…”

“…This was interpreted as a direct affect upon activity of the birds. Barrot and Pringle (1951), Clegg and Sanford (1951), and Moore (1957) suggest that light-dark periods which provide sufficient time for eating followed by rest periods should make maximum use of nutrients for growth.…”

An investigation was made of the relationship between the water and food consumption of healthy and sick chickens Using coccidiosis as a disease model, and uninfected chickens as healthy controls, male birds of an egg-production breed and males and females of a meat-production breed were found to have simultaneously reduced water and food intakes 4 days after infection with Eimeria acervulina or E. maxima, and from 4 to 6 days after infection with E. tenella. This phenomenon was associated with reduction of weight gains and poor food conversion ratios. Whether birds were healthy or sick, and regardless of the degree reduction of dietary intake, there was a more or less constant relationship between their food and water consumption. The ratio of the weights of water and food consumed had a value of about 1.9, with a range of 1.1-2.4. It is concluded that neither water nor food has an advantage over the other as a vehicle for chemotherapy. However, other factors, such as case and speed of administration, and avoidance of adsorption onto food particles, favour the drinking-water route.
