Abstract:: Flaxseed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding laying hens flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids content (FA) in eggs, thus increasing human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), which decreases digestibility of dietary lipids and proteins. Addition of carbohydrase enzymes to flax-based layer diets...
