Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary oil source and different duration of flaxseed oil consumption prior to slaughter on broiler performance, carcass composition and fatty acid profile of broiler breast and thigh. For it, a total of 336 unsexed day old Cobb 500 chicks were randomly assigned to 7 dietary treatments with 4 replicates of 12 chickens each as a completely randomized design. Treatments were as: 1) 0 d Flaxseed oil (FO) : 42 d Soybean oil (SO), 2) 7 d FO : 35 d SO, 3) 14 d FO : 28 d SO, 4) 21 d FO : 21 d SO, 5) 28 d FO : 14 d SO, 6) 35 d FO : 7 d SO, 7) 42 d FO : 0 d SO. Supplementation of flaxseed oil to broiler diets increased their feed intake and breast muscle (P< 0.05). Longer the consumption of diets contained flaxseed oil increased UFA and PUFA content of broiler breast and thigh meat (P< 0.05). Based on the results of this study, using flaxseed oil in broiler diets enriched broiler breast and thigh meat with n-3 fatty acids.
