  • Polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in broiler chickens : effects of maternal diet

    Creator:
    Bautista Ortega, Jaime
    Abstract:
    Three experiments were conducted in broiler hens to study the influence of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on egg quality, antioxidant status in progeny, and eicosanoid production in tissue. The objective of experiment 1 was to determine the effect of hen age and dietary n-3 PUFA on egg quality...

  • Effect of dietary fatty acids, time of feeding and immune response in poultry

    Creator:
    Gonzalez, Dulmelis
    Abstract:
    In the presence of internal or external stressors, the body requires sources of energy that aide cells to combat inflammation. Fatty acids are an important source of energy and are vital components of cell membranes. Dietary fatty acids (n-6 and n-3) are of importance in immune function because they are...

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and immune responses in poultry

    Creator:
    Selvaraj, Ramesh Kumar
    Abstract:
    Three experiments were conducted to study the influence of dietary fatty acids on the production performance and immune response of chickens. In experiment I, forty day-old broiler chicks were fed diets containing 5% of either animal fat + conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (Diet I), sunflower oil (Diet II), flax oil...

  • Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids and leukotriene production in poultry

    Creator:
    Jha, Shantibhushan
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is characterized by pain, swelling, redness, and heat. Eicosanoids are lipid mediators of inflammation. Leukotrienes (LT) are 20-carbon eicosanoids produced from arachidonic acid (AA), an n-6 fatty acid (FA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an n-3 FA. LT produced from AA are proinflammatory...

    Creator:
    Oeffner, Scott P.
    Abstract:
    There is growing public concern about the high proportion of saturated fatty acids in milk fat; however, feed intake, energy partitioning toward milk synthesis, and milk fat concentrations can decrease when cows are fed high concentrations of unsaturated lipids. The objective of this study was to identify the optimal rate...
