Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

Creator:

Apperson, K. Denise

Abstract:

Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...

Evaluating the Impact of Organic Chromium with Flaxseed in Broiler Diets: Effects on Production Performance, Breast Muscle Pathology and Meat Quality Aspects

Creator:

Fraz, Ahmad

Abstract:

This study investigated the impact of organic chromium (Cr) supplementation and flaxseed on live performance, carcass yield, serum metabolites, muscle lipid profile, histopathological aspects, and meat quality parameters. Ninety (n=90), day-old Cobb chicks were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet containing 0% flaxseed (Control), 10% flaxseed (Diet 1) and Diet 1...
