“…Moreover, lighting treatment regulated melatonin production at post hatch period, which in turn affects some physiological functions of chicks (Nelson and Demas, 1997). However, this result is in agreement with Farghly and Mahrose (2012) who reported that the eggs incubated under continuous lighting produced heavier chicks than those incubated in the dark. With similar trend, Farghly et al (2015) reported that the highest value of embryo weight was observed under incubated light flashes.…”

“…Farghly and Makled (2015) indicated that intermittent feeding (a different number of cycles daily, each consisting of a feeding period followed by a fasting period) did not affect the carcass characteristics of broilers. Farghly et al. (2019) reported that organ weights were not significantly changed by intermittent feeding (3 cycles daily for 4 h of feeding and 4 h of nonfeeding) except for the heart.…”

“…Finished pigs fed twice daily showed a deteriorated ADG and gain/feed compared with feeding 6 times daily in limit-feeding situations ( Schneider et al., 2011 ). In broiler chickens, limited feeding frequency has been used to restrict feed consumption and improve feed efficiency ( Farghly and Hassanien, 2012 ; Farghly and Makled, 2015 ); intermittent feeding regimes (intermittent daily feeding periods of 4 h of feeding and 4 h of non-feeding) had higher ADG and lower FCR values than restricted feeding regimes and did not produce any adverse effects on performance or physiological parameters ( Farghly et al., 2019 ).…”

This study was conducted to determine the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, carcass traits, and apparent nutrient digestibility in geese from 28 to 70 D of age. In experiment 1, a total of 240 geese were distributed in a completely randomized design into 4 treatments and 6 replicates of 10 birds each. The treatments were free access to the feeder (ad libitum) and access to the feeder 3, 4, and 5 times daily. Geese fed 3 times daily had a lower ( P < 0.05) BW, ADG, and ADFI and a higher ( P = 0.064) feed conversion ratio ( FCR ) from 28 to 41 D of age compared with the other groups. Geese fed 4 times daily had a higher ( P < 0.05) ADG and ADFI and a lower ( P < 0.05) FCR from 42 to 55 D of age compared with ad libitum fed geese. Geese fed 3 times daily had a higher ( P < 0.05) ADG from 56 to 69 D of age than geese fed ad libitum and 4 times daily. No differences ( P > 0.05) in BW, ADFI, ADG, and FCR were observed between ad libitum and feeding frequency groups from 28 to 69 D of age. Carcass traits and gastrointestinal development were not affected ( P > 0.05) by feeding frequency. In experiment 2, the apparent nutrient digestibility in geese from 71 to 77 D of age fed using different feeding frequencies was determined using the total fecal collection method. Feeding frequency did not affect ( P > 0.05) the apparent digestibility of DM, CP, crude ash, calcium, phosphorous, or ether extract in geese. Our study demonstrates for the first time that compensatory growth can be gained by enhancing feed intake when a lower feeding frequency is imposed on geese. Both ad libitum feeding and fixed feeding frequency for 3 to 5 times daily are suitable for geese from 28 to 70 D of age to achieve optimum production.

“…Andreazzi et al (2018) observed that broiler chickens in a conventional broiler house presented an average of 2.720 kg and 2.806 kg in a broiler house with a dark curtain (Dark House). Farghly et al (2019) observed that broiler chickens exposed to flashing light and an intermittent feeding regime had the highest body weight and lowest feed conversion rate when compared with the control treatment. Lei & Van Beek (1997) established that broiler chickens in high activity had higher body weight and feed intake than in normal activity state.…”

The present study had the objective of analysing the impact of the use of environmental enrichment (music and light stimuli), broiler sex, and age in broiler chickens' weight during growth. The observational study was carried out on a commercial farm. The environmental enrichment consisted of broilers' stimulation by sound and light, and a house was kept without stimulus (control). The music stimuli consisted of different music styles and was played during the experiment to promote motivation for the birds. The light stimuli came from a coloured (red and green) LED strobe projector. Both stimuli were applied once a day for about 6 minutes, for five weeks. The broilers were weighed at the end of each week of growth. Throughout the growth period, broiler behaviours were analysed weekly through videos, and the leg disorders of the birds were put into score evaluations. The effects of the environmental enrichment type, gender, and age, and the probable interactions of these variables, on the weight of the broiler chickens were analysed by the comparative analysis of means, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Tukey test of multiple comparisons. 7, 14, and 21 day old broiler chickens did not differ on body weight when compared with age, gender, and environmental enrichment (broiler house) (p>0.05). Males from 21 days of age had an increase in body weight when compared with females. Light enrichment presented the lowest body weight when compared with all studied houses, while the absence of enrichment presented the highest broiler weight.
