Abstract:

Male broiler chicks were grown at cold temperatures to enhance susceptibility to the ascites syndrome. Various feeding regimens were used to determine whether they could influence mortality due to ascites. It was found that a precisely controlled early feed-restriction regimen at the age of 6 to 11 days significantly reduced mortality from all causes and mortality due to ascites, while maintaining optimum body weight and feed conversion at marketing age.
