The experiment was started at 27 wk and lasted to 39
wk of age. Feeding regimens included: i) hens with an
ad libitum feeding program, ii) hens that received their
restricted feed once a day, iii) hens that received their
restricted feed twice a day, and iv) hens that received
their restricted feed 3 times a day. Each hen was assumed
as an experimental unit and treatments were
replicated 8 times. Daily egg production, BW, and egg
and yolk weights were measured
