The effect of feed restriction upon the growth and initial performance of meat-type replacement pullets.

The substantial increase in chicken broiler production in recent years has created a demand for a steady supply of broiler chicks in order to keep pace with consumer demand for poultry meats of this kind. Meat-type pullets therefore constitute a significant part of pullet replacement programs each year as these pullets eventually become the breeding hens that provide hatching eggs for the broiler industry. Methods of feeding have been given serious attention for many years and considerable variation in feeding systems is encountered in recommendations for the feeding of poultry.
