Popis:	To evaluate the effects of different stocking densities (22.5, 18.75, 15, 11.25, 7.5 broilers/m(2)) in ad libitum (Al) and limited or pair feeding (Pf) regimens a total of 2550 Ross-308 chicks were taken. All the Pf groups were provided the same amount of feed per broiler, as determined for the Al-fed group with 22.5 broilers/m2. Daily weight gain and feed intake were reduced (P 0.05). It is concluded that feed consumption was adversely affected by stocking density resulting in poor growth and bone mineralisation.
