Maternal diet and essential fatty acid metabolism in progeny chickens

Creator:

Bullock, Cheri Jean

Abstract:

During the 21 day incubation period, the fertile egg provides nutrients such as fatty acids for energy and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for membrane synthesis to the developing chick. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that the type of PUFA fed to the breeder hen can alter tissue...

Lipid Metabolism and the Broiler Chicken : Effect of Dietary n-3 Fatty Acids

Creator:

Head, Brian A.

Abstract:

In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase...

Improving the nutritional and textural properties of dairy products by feeding Holstein cows processed flaxseed

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...
