TL;DR: The influence of feeding regimes on the deposition of abdominal fat varied among populations with the low nutrient density starting diet either significantly increasing, significantly decreasing, or having no effect on the amount of abdominalfat.

TL;DR: If feed consumption of broilers is significantly depressed for as little as one week at any time over the 3–8 week age period, weight gain will be significantly depressed with a significant decrease in efficiency of feed utilization and lower final body weights.

TL;DR: It is suggested that compensatory growth occurs in quail following undernutrition from 0 to 2 weeks of age on a low (20%) protein diet and that fast growing lines selected for high 4-week body weight are capable of demonstrating greater compensatory Growth than nonseleeted control quail.
