Opis

This academic book gives a comprehensive overview of the concept of feed restriction and its role in improving broiler performance. It also gives an overview of the compensatory growth phenomenon and its role in growth recovery. It provides the reader with the needed knowledge of the importance of feed restriction methods during the starter and finisher periods as a useful way to improve the efficiency of feed utilization, reduce culls due to skeletal abnormalities, reduce mortality due to metabolic diseases and reduce abdominal fat pad. This book discusses the impact of physical feed restriction and limiting feeding time as quantitative methods of feed restriction. It also studies qualitative feed restriction(diet dilution) on broiler performance. This book is suitable for animal production students, researchers, postgraduate students, and broiler production companies.
