Abstract
One hundred and sixty-eight broiler breeder pullets were fed skip-a-day or half the
same feed allotment on a daily basis from 5 to 20 wk of age. When weighed on the same
day, daily fed birds were significantly larger than skip-a-day-fed birds, but this
difference appears to be partly due to feed retained in the digestive tract. Body
composition and uniformity were unaffected by feeding regimen.
