The study was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of feed restriction (15%, 25%, 35%, and 45% less than normal feed intake) during the third and fourth week of age on the growth of Sasso chicken. Seventy-five straight run day old Sasso chicks were randomly distributed to five treatments with 3 replications based on a completely randomized design (CRD). Body weight recovery was observed as early as the 4th week of feeding. Feed restriction was found to improve feed efficiency of Sasso chicken particularly at 45 percent less than normal feed intake. Dressing percentage and abdominal fat content were not affected by feed restriction and extension of the recovery period. Mortality was considered negligible during the period of study. Average Income Over Feed and Chick Cost (IOFCC) analysis showed that feed restriction of 45 percent less than normal feed intake is most profitable. Based on the condition under which this study was conducted, 45 percent less than normal feed intake is recommended. However, there is still a need to improve the method and level of restriction in order to see whether feed restriction could affect dressing percentage and abdominal fat content.
