Popis:	An experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of two commercial strains of turkey poults (British United and Nicholas) subjected to two feeding programs (day or night feeding) during chronic daily heat stress (90°F for 9 hours) from 9 to 18 weeks of age. Neither day nor night feeding programs had significant effects (P>. 05) on body weight gain, feed usage, and feed conversion ratio, in the heat stress environment. Night feeding improved livability significantly (P
