The main objective in brooding chicks is to efficiently and economically provide a comfortable, healthy environment for growing birds.

Failure to provide the adequate environment during the brooding period will reduce profitability, resulting in reduced growth and development, poorer feed conversion, and increased disease, condemnation and mortality.
