Abstract
The effect of feed restriction during brooding period (first 10 days) on the blood picture of brioler chicks was detennined during a 42 days study at the Poultry Research Center, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. There was non-significant effect of feed restriction on haemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and packed cell volume. However, significantly higher cholesterol level was observed in the birds restricted by 70%feeding rate and 12hours feeding. The feed restriction had no significant effect on blood glucose and serum protein levels in the broiler chicks.
