Resumo: 	The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed restriction and different sodium levels in the diet on the performance and hematological values (erythrocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin, mean cell hemoglobin concentration and white blood cell) of broilers from 22 to 42 days of age. A completely randomized design was used in a 4 x 2 x 2 factorial (levels of sodium: 0.16%, 0.19%, 0.22% and 0.25%; with or without feed restriction; male and female), and two replicates of thirty broilers each. Sodium levels did not affect performance (p&gt;0.05). Feed restriction resulted in increased feed intake and affected weight gain and feed conversion negatively (p&lt;0.05). Better weight gain and feed conversion (p&lt;0.05) were seen in male broilers. Hematological values were not affected by sodium levels, feed restriction or sex (p&gt;0.05).
