Effect Upon Body Weight 



Table 6 presents the average, ten week weight of conihined sexes of birds 

 reared under two feed forms, two space allotments and two light intensities. 

 The heaviest birds were the group on 15 foot candles, fed pellets, and 

 allotted 1 square foot of floor space per bird with an average weight of 

 3.52 pounds. The lighest group was the 120 foot candles, mash and -{> square 

 foot group with an average weight of 3.25 pounds. The 15 foot candle 

 groups were heavier than their corresponding 120 foot candles groups. The 

 same was true for the pellet-fed groups compared with their corresponding 

 mash-fed groups and for the 1 square foot of floor space compared with 

 the -{{ square feet of floor space groups. The differences were large among 

 experiments, between light intensities, and between rations ( feed form I . 

 However, the combined analysis of variance summary for the three experi- 

 ments (Table II) indicates that none of the differences were significant, in 

 terms of large interacting or inconsistancies, among combinations of in- 

 tensities, space, and trials, and among combinations of ration, space, and 

 trials.
