Abstract
Two experiments involving 4,400 broilers were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of rearing broilers on a heated litterless floor compared with rearing broilers under a conventional brooder with planer shavings over a concrete floor. The results of these experiments provide evidence that it is feasible to use a hot-water-heated floor, using either iron or plastic pipe, to provide heat for growing broilers without the use of litter materials.
