This investigation was carried out to study the feeding period influence on broilers performance, viscera development, and carcass composition. A total of 630 broiler chickens, Cobb-500â strain, were allocated in three feeding programs from 8th day to 50th day of life: ad libitum (AL – food available 24 hours), diurnal feeding (DF – food provided ad libitum from 7 am to 7 pm and fed restricted from 7 pm to 7 am) and nocturnal feeding (NF- food provided ad libitum […]
