An experiment was conducted with 1120 Hubbard broiler to study the use of feed restriction on the performance and the carcass characteristics of the broiler chickens. Four levels of feed restriction (0.0, 15.0, 30.0 and 45%), two sex, and two periods (from 8 to 14 and from 8 to 17 days of age) were tested. A completely randomized design with four replicates and 20 birds per experimental unit was used. Body weight, weight gain, diet intake, non-edible viscera, abdominal fat, […]
