Abstract
Feeding individually caged laying hens restricted amounts of food as a single evening meal improved egg output by 4% compared with a similar single morning meal. Egg outputs for White Leghorns fed ad lib or restricted by 11 or 15% in energy intake were 48.3, 51.0 or 47.9 g/day, respectively.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
