Darrin Karcher (Purdue University) explained this measure that can be taken during a disease outbreak to avoid depopulation and maintain production, in an interview during the Multi-State Poultry Feeding and Nutrition Conference and Silvateam's Technical Symposium in Indianapolis, USA.
I agree that this is quite possible although the actual time and methodology of the pause is key. Naturally there is a loss in overall performance however, this is more just moving the production curve back rather than losing peak and persistency.
