Abstract

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of night feeding benefiting from temperature differences between night and day in SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) white leghorn egg layers under heat stress. For this purpose, 100 SPF hens were randomly assigned to two groups. The control group was fed between 5^{00} and 21^{00} and the treatment group was fed between 17^{00} and 09^{00}. House temperature was averaged at 29.5±0.78°C and 22.9 ± 0.72°C in the control and treatment groups, respectively. The feed and water intake of the hens were 113.60±0.75 g/day and 274.96±2.62 ml/day for the control group, and 120.09±1.77 g/day and 218.26±4.97 ml/day for the treatment group (P
