Feed timing matters: How twice-daily rations benefit broiler breeders

Twice-daily feeding for broiler breeders offers promising advantages over traditional once-a-day schedules. Studies from Wageningen Livestock Research report improved growth uniformity, reproductive outcomes, and behaviour. This article explores the evidence and practicalities of split-feeding strategies for broiler breeders. Traditionally, broiler breeders (particularly pullets) are fed once daily in the morning. However, feeding them twice daily, in a manner more aligned with natural behavi
