| Abstract | ||||
| The study was on 120 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were housed in the well-ventilated hall already antiseptic. Studied the frequency of feeding at different times in the broiler field at Department of Animal Science, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences at the University of Sulaimani,. In the first two weeks, all chicks were fed a regular starter diet contains 21.8% crude protein and 3049 kcal metabolizable energy/kg feed. At the start of the third week, all chicks were weighed and divided randomly into four experimental groups, each with 3- replicates (10 birds/replicate). The first group was control (ad libitum feeding) (T1), while the second group (T2) was fed 4 times a day. The third group (T3) was fed 3 times a day, and the fourth group (T4) was fed 2 times a day. The light was kept at 16L: 8D. All the birds were fed a regular standard feed as described in the recommended protocol (NRC, 1994). There are significant differences at the end of the experiment between transactions, and the third transaction is superior to other transactions in the qualities of final weight gain, nutritional conversion efficiency, and final body weight. | ||||
