Evaluated the use nutritional strategies of pre and post accommodation in chicks growth phase (0 to 15 weeks old). 2460 chicks were used Hy-line strain W36, distributed in a completely randomized design in a 2x5 factorial scheme, and the birds were fed with and without moisturizing gel and five water levels in the diet (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %), with 10 treatments and six repetitions of 41 birds each during phase growth, and 17 birds were kept in the growing phase constituting an experimental unit. The birds were moisturizing gel in the hatchery shipping boxes to the place of accommodation after accommodation has been provided treatments of wet diets until the 3rd day of age, from the 3rd day all the birds began to receive dry food until 15 weeks of age. The use of moisturizing gel with different levels of water included in feed to phases of growth, not significant for weight gain, feed intake, feed gain ratio and uniformity.
