[Weight recovery in baby chicken after fast].
From the determination of the net and gross weight performed in the morning and at night the AA deduces that the normal growth of the chickens at night is inferior to that of the day time or directly negative. After fast the ingestion of food increases, therefore even night bodily growth is positive.--The fundamental factor of this recovery is due to hunger which is regulates by the hypothalamic centers.
