Broiler breeders are fed restricted to avoid obesity-related problems. Pullets are fed restricted up to 43% of ad libitum feed intake (for same body weight) during the rearing phase, and this chronic feed restriction can lead to different behavioural problems. Alternative feeding strategies targeting an increase in feed allotment, without an increment in energy input, might help birds coping with this phase. The aim of this project was to examine the effect of different feeding strategies (alternative diet and non-daily feeding frequency) under simulated commercial conditions.
