Feeding strategies to increase feed intake
 Reduce feed quality
 Addition of fiber sources
 Appetite suppressants
 Intermittent feeding frequencies
 Skip-a-day (SAD)
 4/3
 5/2
 Graduated 36 pullets at week 12
Objective
The objective of this research was to examine
the effect of a rationed alternative diet and
non-daily feeding schedules for broiler
breeders under simulated commercial
conditions
Methodology: housing and experimental design
 1,680 Ross 308 females 70 pullets/pen (7.7 birds/m2)
 4 isocaloric dietary treatments
 From 3 to 22 weeks
 Feeder space: 4 cm/pullet
Dietary treatments
1-5% Appetite suppresant + 40% Fiber
1. Control diet, daily
3. Control diet, 4/3
4. Control diet, graduated
2. Alternative diet, daily
Data collection
Growth rate and body weight uniformity
• Random subsample of 25 pullets/pen
• Week: 3, 6, 10, 14 and 17
At week 23:
• All birds were weighed
• Maturity score
Aviagen, 2013
mature immature
Data collection
Foot lesion and hock burn prevalence
• Same subsample of birds
• Biweekly
• Yes/no score
Welfare Quality, 2014
Data collection and statistical analysis
Litter moisture
• Weekly sampling
• 4 subsamples per pen
• Dehydrated for 24h at 60º C
SAS version 9.4
Glimmix procedure
• Pen, room as random effect
• Week as repeated measure
• Initial as covariate (CV and litter moisture)

Conclusion
Fixed 4/3 schedule resulted in lighter and lower percentage
of mature birds at the end of the rearing period
Difference in body weight for the graduated treatment was no
longer significant after switching to a daily feeding basis at
week 19
Non-daily feeding programs and qualitative restriction did not
improve body weight uniformity during rearing phase
Alternative diet increased litter moisture and prevalence of
foot lesions during the first few weeks of rearing
Further data from rearing
Additional measurements during rearing:
 Behaviour recordings
 Blood sampling:
 Plasma corticosterone
 Plasma glucose
 Heterophil / lymphocyte ratio
 Basophil count
 Feather coverage
 Feather information:
 Growth
 Fault bars/stress bands
 Feed intake test
Next steps:
The long-term effect of rearing conditions during laying
