Effects of metabolizable energy intake and body weight restriction on layer pullets: 2 - Body composition and onset of lay

Effects of metabolizable energy intake and body weight restriction on layer pullets: 2 - Body composition and onset of lay

This study aimed to determine the effects of dietary ME and BW restriction on layer pullet sexual maturation, carcass composition and reproductive organs. Two trials were conducted: a precision feeding (PF) (Experiment 1) and a conventional (CON) experiment (Experiment 2). Experiment 1 was a 2 × 4 f...
