The effects of rearing chicken in a fermentation bed on their behaviors,e.g.posturing,drinking and feeding,were observed.The results showed that the broilers sat more(about 80% of the time) and moved less(about 10% of the time) on the fermentation bed.The peak of moving around occurred most frequently at 8:00-10:00 and 18:00-20:00,when the atmospheric temperature was lower in a day.The peak of feeding and drinking occurred twice daily,i.e.,the peak of feeding at 14:00-16:00 and 18:00-20:00,and drinking at 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00.Furthermore,the chicken's body temperature and gaping frequency directly correlated to the ambient temperature.
