some were placed in the <strong><em>\u201cControl\u201d<\/em><\/strong> area while the others were in the \u201c<strong><em>Treatment\u201d <\/em><\/strong>area.\u00a0 \u201cWe had two sections that was the experiment they were doing, the Control section was not given the correct footage per square foot per bird, so they were given a smaller area to see if they did not have enough room to move about, they would have gained more weight in comparison to those in the treatment section Which were given the ideal footage\u201d, said Phillip.<\/p><div id=\"antig-4150761226\"

flip, instead of the ones in the Controlled section where they had less room gain more weight it was like reverse phycology, the ones with the more space in terms of the Treatment section those birds had on more weight\u201d, Phillip added. \u00a0The interesting discovery was that the birds with more space grew less while those with less space grew more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div
