dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of transport duration andaccess to feed and water during the transportation of broiler chicks on growthperformance, yolk sac weight, development of intestine and immune organs, andcarcass yields of broilers.Material and methods: A total of 256 Cobb broiler chicks were obtained from acommercial hatchery. Depending on the treatment, chicks were divided into 4groups and subjected to either 1.5 h (DS) or 6.0 h (DL) transportation with (AFW) orwithout access to feed and water (NFW) during the transportation. Chicks from eachsubgroup were assigned to 4 floor pens (16 pens in total) and reared until 42 d.Results: Our results confirmed that AFW improved body weight, breast fillet, foodconsumption, yolk sac weight at day 2, and development of immune and intestinal atday 42, (7 d) as compared with the NFW. Our study also indicated that DL groupattempted to compensate their growth retardation by increasing their feed intakeduring the first week of their lives as compared to DS group. However, DL groupbroilers did not catch up with the broilers from DS group at slaughter age and hadworse FCR.Conclusion: This study shows that there is a positive effect on broiler performanceby providing feed and water during the transportation.en_US
