title: [Balance of the material exchange in chiks during the day and the night].
abstract: Chicks of Gallus domesticus, between 8-16 days of age, eat daily an amount of dry food equal to 14.79 % of their weight. Of ingested poultry feed 42.59 % become assimilated, that then divide into 11.67 % destined to growth, and 30.97 % destined for energetic consumption.--The medial daily percentual growth is 8.19 %.--Of the ingested nourishment 70.82 % become digested during the day and the 29.18 % (contained at night in the goiter) becomes digested at night.
