This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of different approaches of feed restriction and the implication of realimentation in alternative weeks on chick performance and carcass traits. The restriction approaches involved restriction of nutrients, protein and energy and feed intake. One hundred and eighty, day-old chicks of the Hubbard breed were weighed and allocated, at random, into six experimental groups each of 30 chicks in two trials. Birds in the first group (control) were fed ad-libitum on a broiler grower diet containing 20% crude protein (CP) and 3200 kcal ME/kg. The diet was offered allover the experimental period from hatch to 7 weeks old. Chicks of the other five groups were offered the same diet in the starting stage (0-3 weeks). For the second and third groups (trial I), restriction was applied on the dietary CP level, keeping the C/P ratio as that of the control. The CP% was reduced by 5% for group 2 to reach 19 and 3050 Kcal ME/Kg diet and by 10% for group 3 to reach 18% and 2900 Kcal ME/kg diet. In the last three groups 4, 5 & 6 (trial II), the reduction was not experimented on the nutrient density but on feed intake, restricting the intake to 80, 70 & 60% of that consumed by the control group, in a respective order. As a trial to overcome the negativity and to get advantage of the "compensatory growth" phenomenon the restriction weeks were interrupted by weeks of the ad-libitum feeding the control diet, on an alternative basis. So in the 4^th & 6^th weeks was the restriction and in the 5^th &7^th was realimintation. Live weight gains of birds fed on energy-protein restricted diets were reduced by 22% in the second and 32.5% in the third group at 6^th weeks of age compared to the control one, while energy-protein realimentation at 5^th week of age resulted in an increase of weight gains by 7.3 and 3.8%. The weekly body weight gain and relative growth rate of birds submitted to food restriction at 4^th and 6^th weeks of age was significantly (P<0.05) lower when compared to the birds fed ad-libitum. Birds were restricted to 80% had highest gains and best feed conversion ratio followed by 70 and 60% treatments, where the weight gains reached 135.4, 129.4 and 105.2% of that recorded in the control at 5^th week  of age. No difference between treated groups and control in carcass dressing value and weights of internal organs. However the abdominal fat content was decreased in slaughtered restricted-refed birds. It could be concluded that, birds which were restricted-refed to 80% of the ad-libitum intake and those fed on 19% CP & 3050 kcal ME/kg had a nearly similar final body weight to that of the control one. Incomplete body weight recovery was obtained with the other of great restrictions.
