Two hundred (200) day-old chicks of Nigerian Fulani ecotype chicken (NFEC) were obtained from established stocks of NFEC population at the Teaching and Research Farm, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. The chickens were separated randomly to intensive and pastured poultry production systems at 12 weeks of age. Data on body weight were taken weekly from day-old to 20 weeks.
