Objective of research was to investigate the effect of multiphase nutrition, i.e. different mixtures used in broiler nutrition, whose protein content has been reduced in several phases during first fattening stage, on production performances of broilers. Investigation was carried out on 608 individually tagged male chickens, Ross 308 strain, divided into 4 groups. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that applied programs of multiphase nutrition have resulted in different influences on production performances. Program of multiphase nutrition (T4), where protein content had been reduced in several phases, realised the highest final body mass of broilers, the best gain and best feed conversion. Positive effect of this program of nutrition was exhibited primarily on the level of food utilization, which is in favor of application of multiphase nutrition, considering that the difference in conversion can be essential for realization of positive economical result in production. Also, it can be concluded that in study of multiphase nutrition, not the effects, i.e. the influence on production performance based on starter period, should be considered, but at the end of fattening period.
