Heat stress is a major concern of the broiler industry due to the resulting decreased growth, feed intake and increased FCR ratio and mortality (Cooper and Washburn, 1998). Heat exposed birds decrees feed intake in order to reduce metabolic heat production and maintain hometheremy, resulting in slower growth. Genetic variation in responses to heat stress has been shown to exist between breeds (Yalcin, et al., 1997). The dual feeding program may have transitory effects on heat production during the heat stress (De Basilio et al., 2001). The aim of this research was to evaluate the response of broiler performance when a two different type of diet were offered during the heat stress.
