V Sandilands, BJ Tolkamp, CJ Savory… - Applied Animal Behaviour …, 2006 - Elsevier
This study investigated whether feeding female broiler breeders on qualitatively, rather than
quantitatively, restricted diets during rearing could improve their welfare while also
achieving desired growth rates. There were six treatments, each with four replicate pens of
12 birds. From 1 to 20 weeks of age, birds in a control treatment (T1) received a
quantitatively restricted amount of a standard mash diet while birds in five additional
treatments (T2–T6) had ad libitum access to experimental diets. The latter were based on …
