Abstract
Relationships among short-term fasting behaviour performance and heat tolerance were studied in broiler chicks. Commencing from 28 days of age birds fasted from 0900 h to 1700 h or fed ad libitum were exposed to either high constant ambient temperature (36 2C) from 1200 h to 1700 h or unheated (minimum 25C; maximum 34C as controls. Neither feeding regimen nor temperature had significant effect on growth. Feed-restricted chicks had improved feed efficiency and lower body temperature than those fed ad libitum in response to the heat treatment. There were significant feeding regimen by tim interactions for eating resting and drinking activities suggesting that effect of feeding regimen was not the same within each period of time. During the period of feed removal fasted birds rested more than their ad libitum counterparts. There was no consistent trends for drinking and standing behaviours attributable to time or feeding regimen.
