Popis: This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of early feed restriction on compensatory growth, production performance and carcass characteristics of Betong chickens. Completely randomized design was used comprising 4 treatments, each treatment with 4 replications (10 birds/replicate). The control group was fed ad libitum, while the other groups were fed a restricted diet for 20%, 40% and 60% of the control group during the chick’s age of 1-3 weeks, then fed ad libitumly to 16 weeks of age. At 3 weeks of age, birds fed ad libitum had higher body weights, feed intakes (P
