: A 3 x 2 factorial experiment was conducted to determine the performance of 180 Sasso broiler chicks exposed to three lighting regimes: continues light (24 CL), flashed+ continues light (12 FL : 12 CL), flashed light (24 FL): and two feeding regimes: continues feeding (24F: 0NF), intermittent feeding (6F: 6NF). Each group included three replicates with 10 birds /replicate. The obtained results indicated that intermittent feeding and flashed lighting regimes significantly (P≤0.05) affected body weight & gain, feed consumption & conversion ratios, some blood parameters, Heterophil/Lymphocyte ratio and body temperature values. However, it had insignificant (P>0.05) effect on most carcass traits, meat quality, bone measurements, plumage conditions and blood constitutes except liver and abdominal fat percentages and blood plasma AST or ALT values. From the achieved results and economic efficiency, it could be concluded that rearing Sasso broilers chicks under intermittent light (12 L: 12 D) with continues feed (24F: 0NF) or intermittent feed (6F: 6NF) improved growth performance and reduced abdominal fat without any adverse effects on physiological parameters or meat quality
