Results

 

          The results of this experiment supported my hypothesis.  Throughout this experiment, the chicks fed Meat Builder feed with amprolium outweighed the chicks fed Meat Builder feed with no added medication.  From Day 1 to 17, the growth rate of the medicated group was higher than that of the non-medicated group.  During the final four-day period, the growth rate of the non-medicated chicks was slightly higher.
