Abstract

An experiment was carried out using 240 chicks, which were distributed into four groups and each group contained 60 chicks and was subjected for a specific method of early nutrition. The chicks of the 1st group were fed a broiler diet (1 stage broiler diet) with water immediately after hatching. The chicks of the 2nd group were fed only water during the 1st 24 hr after hatching. The chicks of the 3rd group were fed a broiler diet (1 stage broiler diet) without water for 24 hr immediately after hatching. The chicks of the 4th group were fed a special diet for newly hatching chicks during the 1st 24 hr after hatching. Then the four group fed broiler diet (stage1 broiler diet until age 21 day and stage 2 broiler diet until age 42 day(. The results showed that the early feeding for chicks which were fed special diet for newly hatching chicks and broiler diet (1 stage broiler diet) with water immediately after hatching  showed significant  differences increase (P≤ 0.05) improved the growth of intestinal villi and the depth of the intestinal crypts in the small intestine for chicks.
