Abstract: This investigation was being conducted at poultry research centre of Udai Pratap Autonomous College, Varanasi (U.P.) was carried out on one week aged 98 chicks in December 2012. The broiler chicks were divided into four group having 23, 25, 25 and, 25 chicks in I, II, III, and IV group respectively. The dose of the Growth promoter provided to the chicks with the drinking water was 1.5 ml, 2.5 ml, and 3.5 ml/liter fresh water, in I, II, and III group respectively, IV group was the control group of this experiment. The following trains were observed during experimental period, Feed intake, Water intake, Body weight. The average intake/Day/chick was higher in IV group (1760gm) while it was lower in IV group (1527gm). The group-I show (110gm). Feed intake during first week of age and found to be statistically significant. Similarly water intake during this experimental has been found 4410ml, 3707ml, 3989 ml and 3839 ml in I, II, III and IV group respectively. It was highest in I group. The variation in water consumption among these four groups were found to be non significant. The data indicates that the initial body weight of experimental chicks during 1st week of age ranged between 169 gm to 180 gm. The highest body weight has been recorded in II group while it was lowest in III group. On the basis of above results we can say that the growth promoter had the non significant effect on intake and significant effect on body weight.
