Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) were injected intracerebroventricularly (ICV) in broiler chicks. Both NPY and PYY markedly increased food intake during the first hour post-injection compared to saline (SAL) controls. Food intake doubled in chicks given 5 .mu.g NPY. A response surface analysis suggested that following ICV injection of NPY, maximum food intake occurred, using a dose of 9 .mu.g. In contrast, an estimated dose between one and 5 .mu.g PYY resulted in maximum food intake, giving the latter a slightly higher potency. Time spent drinking was not significantly different among NPY, PYY and SAL groups. Chicks given NPY or PYY also spent significantly less time standing while those given PYY spent significantly less time preening compared to controls.
