Enzyme Supplementation of Layer Hen Diets Containing Whole Flaxseed to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Chicken Eggs

Creator:

Westbrook, Lindsay A.

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...

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...
