Re: Article - Effect of Reduced Early Growth Rate on the Protein Requirement of Roaster Chickens

The article by Carlyle Bennett, is a good effort but it would be more fruitful if the author mentions the amount of feed provided in each phase and treatments. Overall I appreciate for the work done by Mr.Carlyle Bennett.

It is suggested that author should also include effect of different temperature levels with protein percentage. I think at higher temperature a low density and low protein diet is more beneficial as compared to low temperature or a high density high protein diet is more beneficial at lower temperature.

This article is the type of early protein restriction. I also studied myself early protein restriction for just first seven days; after seven days I offered a normal protein diet. In that study it was observed there is compensatory growth in birds. This can be applied succesfully in broiler breeder.
