Abstract

1. This study was to determine the effects of two lighting programmes (cantinuous-24L:0D or intermittent-12L:3(1L3D)), two feeding programmes (continuous-ad libitum or meal feeding-3 h feed:3 h deprivation x 4 times per d) and two ascorbic acid (AA) supplementations (0 or 150 mg/l in water) on broiler performance and incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia (TD).
