300 broiler chickens of 4weeks old were used to investigate the effect of restricted feed access time on broiler chickens in the finisher phase. The birds had 3,6,9 and 12 hours access time to feed while water was provided ad libitum for 4weeks. Results indicate non significant (P>0.05) different for average weekly feed intake, heart weight, spleen weight and mortality. Results also indicate significant (P<0.05) differences for total feed consumed, total feed cost and feed conversion ratio. Average weekly weight gain, weekly live weight, final live weight, and dressed weight were significantly (P<0.05) different. Also indicated in the results are significant (P<0.05) differences in gizzard weight and live weight. This study recommends the feeding of broiler chickens for 9 hours daily.Keywords

The high cost of meat and egg in Nigeria has been attributed to livestock production costs which ultimately increase the price of the finished products. The interaction between production costs and meat output culminates in the production of insufficient quantity of meat and egg. This in turn accentuates the shortage of animal protein to the populace. With the widening protein deficiency gap due to high population and high cost of livestock production, there is the need to reduce production cost through feed cost savings. This is to allow the products go round the population at affordable prices. The benefits of feed savings, feed conversion rates, lean meat and a more uniform growth are worth serious consideration. This can be done by finding ways of reducing feed cost. The proposed study was to measure the effect of Yeast on cholesterol content in broiler chicken.Keywords
